Practitioner

We are recruiting a skilled and experienced professional practitioner to join our multidisciplinary, innovative team. You will carry out assessments and interventions for local authorities in cases where sexual abuse is known or suspected, provide advice to our Stop It Now helpline, and deliver training to other professionals. You will also contribute to wider service developments within the charity.

Our practitioners use their experience and expert knowledge in working with individuals who have been convicted or accused of sexual abuse toward children, and protective adults, where there have been concerns about child sexual abuse. You will be able to demonstrate confidence in translating the charity’s mission into direct child protection practice and equipping other professionals in tackling child sexual abuse through training and consultancy.

This is a highly rewarding role within a friendly, supportive and hardworking team which is committed to keeping children safe from sexual harm.

We offer hybrid working, with a minimum of 2 days in the office after one month in the position, a NEST pension, 33 days’ annual leave rising to 38 days (inclusive of statutory bank holidays following qualifying period), up to 5 days’ learning and development per year, flu jabs, eye tests, season ticket loans, charity discounts, an employee assistance programme and the option of Benenden medical cover. We are proud to partner with the Living Wage Foundation and be an accredited employer of choice.

We welcome informal conversations with prospective candidates about the role and the charity in advance of the deadline. Please contact Emma King on [email protected].
