About the role
Therapeutic Work Beside a Horse What if therapy didn't happen across a desk… but beside a horse? You've seen the limits of traditional therapy. You know that sometimes, progress doesn't come from words alone. Sometimes it comes from the connection. From presence. From experiences that help clients feel safe enough to open up. If you're a licensed clinician who believes in innovative, experiential approaches to healing—this is your opportunity to lead that work.
The Opportunity:

This role allows you to: Practice therapy in a more engaging and impactful way Be part of a growing, innovative program Help clients build trust, regulation, and resilience in new ways Ready to do work that feels different?

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
