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? 
One25 is a Bristol-based charity supporting women to move from crisis and trauma towards independence in the community. One25 hosts Pause practices in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. Pause is a national independent organisation seeking to prevent the damaging consequences of thousands more children being taken into care each year by working with women who have experienced – or are at risk of – repeated pregnancies that result in children needing to be removed from their care. The programme gives women the chance to pause and take control over their lives, breaking a destructive cycle that causes both them and their children deep trauma, as well as reducing huge costs to society and the taxpayer. 

Practitioner Role
As a Pause Practitioner, you will work with significant autonomy and authority. You will be responsible for implementing a range of interventions and support measures as part of an integrated package of health, therapeutic and social support. Pause is specifically designed to address the complex needs of women, through intensive support, to enable change in their lives, and ultimately reduce the numbers of children being removed into care. 
One25 is committed to being an inclusive workplace that represents the diversity of the communities we serve. We actively encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We particularly encourage applications from ethnic minority, LGBTQ and disability groups, and those who have lived experience of multiple disadvantages as these groups are underrepresented within our workforce. We are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments individuals may require in the recruitment process or once in post.

This role is funded until 31st August 2023, with possibility of extended funding.

It is an Occupational Requirement that applications for this post are open to women only, as permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1, of the Equality Act 2010. An enhanced DBS disclosure will be required. 

The role will involve hybrid working with some time spent at our offices in Bristol and regular visits to locations in North Somerset. 

Benefits: Generous leave (33 days including bank holidays) plus up to 13 additional days’ time off in lieu; flexible working hours; and great job satisfaction.
