Are you an ambitious, creative and influential practitioner who is passionate about reducing the number of children being removed into care by supporting women to bring about change in their lives?
Pause works with women who have experienced, or are at risk of, repeated pregnancies that result in children needing to be removed from their care.
Through an intense programme of support, it aims to break this cycle and give women the opportunity to reflect, tackle destructive patterns of behaviour, and to develop new skills and responses that can help them create a more positive future. In doing so, we aim to prevent the damaging consequences of thousands more children being taken into care.
Pause Practitioners, and the therapeutic relationships they cultivate with the people they work with, are at the heart of Pause’s success – so recruiting the right people is paramount.
Pause Practitioners work with significant autonomy and authority. This means that the highest quality of professionals must be recruited, who embrace responsibility and are accountable for their work.
They are practitioners who come with demonstrable skills and a track record of supporting complex and vulnerable people to overcome the trauma and challenges of their lives. They will usually have held a senior practitioner role in their respective profession and should have experience of delivering evidence informed approaches in their practice.
