Mpower provides intensive and goal-oriented support to parents with highly complex needs whose children have been removed into care. As Practitioner you will do this by taking a relational approach that centres around the needs of each service user. You will work with a high level of independence and self-direction, managing the subtleties of professional boundaries and confidently using a flexible approach where work with different service users can go in a range of directions and last for varying lengths of time.

Ultimately, your work will enable service users who have experienced complex trauma to make meaningful change, rebuild their lives, and reduce the number of children being removed into care.

You will be joining a service that has been running successfully for ten years and is going through an exciting period of consolidation and expansion.

It is essential that you have at least 3 years’ experience of working intensively with vulnerable people, especially women, with highly complex needs and collaborating on complex safeguarding cases. You should be confident lone working for extended periods of time and independently making decisions around support for service users. It is essential that you are able to manage your own caseload, completing all case recording paperwork and impact measurement tools. It is also essential that you have your own vehicle and are able to travel within the area.
