Therapeutic Practitioner
3 days ago
Job description
We are recruiting a Therapeutic Practitioner to deliver _For Baby’s Sake_ in the East of England. The post will be home-based with some elements of hybrid working. Applicants need to be located in the local area (Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Essex) and able to travel across the region.
- For Baby’s Sake_ is an innovative, therapeutic, trauma-informed programme. We work with both co-parents individually, supporting a recovery framework to overcome the devastating effects of domestic abuse in their relationship. We acknowledge and explore unresolved and often complex childhood trauma and change harmful patterns of behaviour to develop a home environment where children can flourish. We adopt an attachment-focused parenting approach that enhances the opportunity for children to feel safe and secure with parents who are emotionally available and attuned to all their needs.
There must be a current pregnancy to harness change motivations, a desire on behalf of both parents to co-parent their unborn baby (although they do not have to be in a relationship) and we can work with the families up until the baby reaches the age of 2. The significance of this two-year timescale is evidenced in all recent child development research.
You will have the opportunity to support the continued evolution of _For Baby’s Sake_ whilst ensuring fidelity to the programme and sustaining the ethos and values of the For Baby’s Sake Trust.
The _For Baby’s Sake_ multi-disciplinary team consists of highly trained, therapeutic practitioners capable of establishing and maintaining meaningful, trusting relationships that consistently guarantee engagement and crucially provide the framework for the deeper, therapeutic exploration that allows co-parents to understand the impact of their own parenting experiences. To be part of this exceptional team you must have demonstrable therapeutic skills, sound knowledge and experience of safeguarding children and adults, infant mental health, and a thorough understanding of the dynamics of domestic abuse, attachment, and the impact of unresolved trauma.
The position is full-time on a permanent contract. Full details, including the job description, person specification and background briefing information can be found in the relevant attachments. There will be an expectation of occasional travel to locations across the UK on occasions.
For an opportunity to discuss this vacancy informally, please contact either Becky Reynolds, Deputy Director of Operations or Brenda Evans, Therapeutic Lead.
Further information about The For Baby’s Sake Trust can also be found on our website.
**Closing date: 12th January 2025
