KT Healthcare provides comprehensive assessment, rehabilitation and therapy for adults and children with brain injury. We have a team of Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and Neuropsychologists who the Rehabilitation Assistant will work with. The patient will be treated in their own home.
Music therapy is a form of psychological therapy that uses music to develop the relationship between clients and the therapist, and to support clients' wellbeing and ability to interact. It can be particularly useful for clients who have difficulties with communication or who find it overwhelming to try to express their emotions verbally. Music therapy is not aimed at improving clients’ musical ability.
Clients may include people with mental health problems, learning difficulties, developmental disorders, neurological conditions and physical illnesses. Music therapists may work on a one-to-one basis or lead sessions with groups. Typical responsibilities of the job include:
- assessing clients' needs
- planning and providing appropriate music sessions
- actively participating in music sessions and encouraging clients to do the same
- exploring a variety of musical styles and sounds with clients through singing, percussion, using different instruments and improvisation
- maintaining records and case notes
- reporting progress to families, carers, relevant agencies or professional staff
About you
As a qualified Music Therapist, registered with the Health Care Professions Council, full BAMT membership would be desirable. The ability to work flexibly as part of the multidisciplinary team in the clients home is essential.
