This includes fair pay and conditions, workplace well-being, skills and progression and diversity and recruitment.&nbsp;About the role:&nbsp;As an FFT Therapist, the role involves delivering specialised Functional Family Therapy to children and families experiencing complex relational and behavioural challenges. Therapists work across developmental stages and diverse family structures, offering interventions within a multi-disciplinary framework. Central to the role is maintaining a caseload of families, where the therapist draws on advanced assessment skills and systemic formulation to guide evidence-based interventions.
