Role
This is an exciting time to join Venture Trust as we continue to develop, embed and grow our new multidisciplinary locality teams and apply our developmental approach in communities, in greenspaces and across Scotland’s wilder places.
Venture Trust supports people facing challenging life circumstances to overcome barriers and realise their potential. We work alongside people who have been impacted by trauma, and together we build the programme they need to move forwards in their journey, utilising in communities, greenspaces and wild places across Scotland.
The Venture Trust Outdoor Therapy Service is an important service aimed at reaching clients who can sometimes have difficulty accessing traditional clinical settings. Our service is highly committed to maintaining an ethical therapeutic practice in which safety and risk are given careful consideration.
Our accredited counsellors and therapists meet with clients in their local outdoor spaces; and for our clients, who have often experienced severe adversity and trauma, meeting them in their own community may be what allows them to take the step to engage in therapy. Furthermore, working outdoors allows them to access the varied benefits of working therapeutically in nature, with the metaphors, embodied experiences and regulating effects that can occur.
