This may include support around housing, benefits, court procedures as well as psycho-educational support such as mindfulness, grounding, stabilization, and relaxation to help reduce the symptoms of trauma. Referrals may then go onto receive trauma informed counselling through Birchall’s Adult and CYP counselling services.

With experience of working with people who have experienced trauma, you will have skills and techniques able to work in a creative way, developing resources and contacts to support your role. You will need to effectively engage with people who may be at a difficult time in their lives, working with them to achieve positive and sustained change, to achieve emotional well-being and reach their full potential. An awareness or knowledge of de-escalation techniques to support people in crises would be useful.

You should have a good working knowledge of managing risk and safety planning and have exceptional communication skills and the ability to develop partnerships with other services and organisations.
