About us

Soundwell provides music therapy in Bath and Bristol for people with significant and enduring mental health needs. We also work with unpaid carers who are in need of support and respite, and provide singing and music groups for mental health recovery and wellbeing.

Group music therapy lessens isolation, and helps people connect and manage difficult emotions and trauma.

We’re a small, friendly team, and would be happy to tell you more about what we do and how this role fits, if you’re considering applying.
