Summary
This is work that helps rebuild trust. As a Children In Care Emotional Wellbeing Practitioner, you will support children in care who have faced instability, loss and trauma. Your role is to walk alongside them with compassion and purpose, creating safe spaces where they can begin to feel heard, valued and understood. Youll be part of a small, specialist team working across mental health, social care and lived experience, where support is shaped around the individual and not the system. You will offer early intervention, one to one sessions, group work and therapeutic planning that puts young people at the centre. Alongside this, youll work with carers and professionals to build their confidence in responding to emotional need. You will act as a keyworker, advocate and steady point of connection, helping to stabilise placements, reduce disruption and support healing relationships that make a difference. This is a service rooted in trust, empathy and collaboration, with a shared belief that things can change when the right support is in place. If you want to use your skills to help children in care, feel safer, stronger and more hopeful about their future, we want to hear from you.
