Are you an ambitious, creative and influential leader or practitioner who is passionate about reducing the number of children being removed into care by supporting women to bring about change in their lives? Do you have direct experience of working with and affecting change in vulnerable individuals? Or are you an organised, innovative, administrative professional?
Pause is a charity seeking to prevent the damaging consequences of thousands more children being taken into care each year.
This a new, innovative, national pilot that is being started in partnership with ‘Pause’. This is a dedicated project that works with women who have experienced 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. They do not currently have children in their care.
The Better Change programme in West Sussex will deliver a dedicated ‘Pause’ project for three years. A Team Manager works alongside their 3 Practitioners and team co-ordinator, bringing their own wealth of direct practice experience of complex work to maximise the Teams potential.
They are a coach and leader rather than a manager by style, offering structure and support that enables the Team to focus on their interaction with the women and their ‘system’, ensuring outcomes are achieved. They are able to provide high levels of supervision and leadership to team members from a variety of disciplines.
The team manager is also key to ensuring fidelity and integrity to the model, instilling a continuous learning culture in both the team itself and across other services and partners. They will typically have significant experience in both operational and project management, with an ability to manage complex data and demonstrate impact. Additionally, they should have experience of evidence informed approaches.
We are particularly keen to share information and learning across West Sussex services, and across other national Pause practices as part of the pilot.
Ideally we would like the new team to attend a training week beginning on the 3rd July 2017 even if your start date needs to be discussed.
This is a seconded role, or time limited contract for three years. Please contact Chris Tuke if you would like to discuss other options and the project in advance.
