​Be part of something amazing by helping care leavers to change their lives. 

The Emotional Wellbeing Service, part of Break Therapeutic Service (BTS) is an innovative service that recognises the unique challenges that young care leavers face.  We know that mental health support needs to be tailored to meet young people where they are in every sense.

BTS recognises that supervision is key in ensuring effective, safe practice. Monthly external supervision is funded and we are developing our peer supervision structures. Regular opportunities for ongoing Continual Professional Development are provided.

The office base is in Norwich but there is flexibility around remote working. Applications would be welcome from practitioners with a therapeutic training(s) and/or significant experience working with care experienced young people.

If you are able to work independently, and you feel passionate that young care leavers getting the support they need, when and how they need it then we would love to hear from you.  The service covers Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and north Suffolk, so you will be required to travel.  Consideration will be given to your home location.

Your supporting statement should evidence how you meet the person specification and why you will be a good candidate.
