We are also looking for a therapist to expand the capacity we currently have for our services in Kirklees and Calderdale. This role will be based at our Leeds office and at home initially with appointments in Calderdale delivered from the Elsie Whiteley Innovation Centre.

This role is to work with adult refugees and asylum seekers and we are looking to recruit up to full time hours. We are interested to hear from applicants how many hours they would prefer to work, from a minimum of 2.5 days to a maximum of 5 days. The division of work between Kirklees and Calderdale will be decided when we have recruited, however most of the new work is expected to take place in Kirklees with a minority delivered in Calderdale.
