Child Action Northwest is an award winning charity providing a range of innovative and creative services across the North of England that support children, families and vulnerable adults. Our values of caring, empowerment, and never giving up are present in all we do and underpin our work. We believe in the power of the individual and communities to grow, develop and change.

We are looking to recruit 4 suitably experienced and qualified Practitioners to support the coordinator with the Our Voice, One Voice trailblazer project in Lancashire.

Having secured funding via the NHS, we are looking to provide therapeutic and lower level mental health support to children and young people under the care of the local authority (Children in Care) and those leaving the care system (Care Leavers). This is an exciting opportunity to provide much needed support to those in need.

The successful applicants will be responsible for supporting the coordinator to plan, develop, deliver and evaluate the therapeutic strand of the project, delivering 1-1 and group based therapeutic interventions to children and young people whilst working in partnership with external agencies and families.
