Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom For Baby's Sake Trust Full time

Job description

We are recruiting a **Therapeutic Practitioner** to deliver _For Baby’s Sake_ in the North East of England. The post will be home-based with some elements of hybrid working. Applicants must be based in the North East of England and be able to travel across the region to deliver a hybrid of online and face-to-face sessions.
- 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 coparent 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.

Trauma-informed practice is an approach adopted by _For Baby’s Sake,_ which is grounded in the understanding that trauma exposure can impact an individual’s neurological, biological, psychological, and social development. 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 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.

This is **a full-time position on a permanent contract (37.5 hours per week)**. There will be an expectation of occasional travel to locations across the UK.

**Closing date: 14th July 2025**
**Interview date: 30th July 2025**

**Full details, including the job description, person specification, and background briefing, are available in the relevant attachments. Please follow the link to our recruitment page and click ‘apply’.
