We are recruiting a Therapeutic Practitioner to deliver For Baby’s Sake in the East of England. The post will be home-based with some elements of hybrid working. Applicants need to be located in the local area (Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Essex) and able to travel across the region.

For Baby’s Sake is an innovative, therapeutic, trauma-informed programme. We work with both co-parents individually, supporting a recovery framework to overcome the devastating effects of domestic abuse in their relationship. We acknowledge and explore unresolved and often complex childhood trauma and change harmful patterns of behaviour to develop a home environment where children can flourish. We adopt an attachment-focused parenting approach that enhances the opportunity for children to feel safe and secure with parents who are emotionally available and attuned to all their needs.

There must be a current pregnancy to harness change motivations, a desire on behalf of both parents to co-parent their  unborn baby (although they do not have to be in a relationship) and we can work with the families up until the baby  reaches the age of 2. The significance of this two-year timescale is evidenced in all recent child development research.

You will have the opportunity to support the continued evolution of For Baby’s Sake whilst ensuring fidelity to the programme and sustaining the ethos and values of the For Baby’s Sake Trust.

The For Baby’s Sake multi-disciplinary team consists of highly trained, therapeutic practitioners capable of establishing and maintaining meaningful, trusting relationships that consistently guarantee engagement and crucially provide the framework for the deeper, therapeutic exploration that allows co-parents to understand the impact of their own parenting experiences. To be part of this exceptional team you must have demonstrable therapeutic skills, sound knowledge and experience of safeguarding children and adults, infant mental health, and a thorough understanding of the dynamics of domestic abuse, attachment, and the impact of unresolved trauma.

The position is full-time on a permanent contract. Full details, including the job description, person specification and  background briefing information can be found in the relevant attachments. There will be an expectation of occasional travel  to locations across the UK on occasions.

For an opportunity to discuss this vacancy informally, please contact either Becky Reynolds, Deputy Director of Operations or Brenda Evans, Therapeutic Lead.

Further information about The For Baby’s Sake Trust can also be found on our website.

Closing date: 12th January 2025

Shortlisted candidates will be informed by close of business on 13th January 2025 and interviews will be held on 21st/23rd January 2025.

Lead EPIC Restart Foundation and empower lives to restart positively after gambling harm.

Applications close at: 9 a.m. Monday 13th January 2025

Location: Remote (with occasional UK-wide travel)

About EPIC Restart Foundation

EPIC Restart Foundation is a charity grounded in the lived experience of gambling harm. We deliver transformational programmes that change lives.

Our team collaborates closely with individuals in recovery to create innovative programmes. These empower people across the UK to rebuild their lives following gambling harm. We build awareness of recovery support pathways and work to dismantle the stigma surrounding gambling addiction.

We address a crucial gap in long-term recovery support. Our approach is respected for its empowerment and focus on lived experience. The EPIC Restart Community is an inspiring online network offering community, learning, and connection. Our intensive programmes, Restarting Lives and Woman.Empowered, provide life-changing events, personal development, and recovery coaching.

Our team has grown significantly in recent years. We’ve directly supported over 600 individuals since our pilot launch in May 2021. Additionally, we’ve reached over 20,000 people through online and outreach activities. We’re embarking on a new two-year strategy aimed at becoming a Centre for Excellence in gambling harm recovery. We deliver transformational programmes with measurable impacts and influence stakeholders to increase support for those in recovery.

We currently have a strong financial position, but funding methods are set to change significantly. In 2025, the Government will introduce a statutory levy on gambling operators. Funds will be distributed to commissioners for research, prevention, and treatment grants. This process is still developing, so our path remains uncertain. However, we are optimistic and see growth potential as feedback on our work has been positive.

Who we are looking for

During a period of transformation, we need an experienced leader adept at developing relationships with commissioners. This could stem from the gambling harm sector or other relevant fields like addiction, homelessness, domestic abuse, or mental health.

Our Chief Executive must lead change effectively through ambiguity. Over 70% of our staff and volunteers have a lived connection to gambling harm, so it is vital that you can lead with empathy, kindness, and compassion, particularly during this time of transition.

As the new CEO, you will have:

• Excellent financial and interpersonal skills
• A stellar track record in delivering organisational development and growth
• Experience of significant income generation and robust financial management.
• Strategic vision.

You must be willing to support people in recovery, be sensitive to their needs and be committed to keeping people safe whilst making a difference.

We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We encourage all individuals to apply, particularly those with a personal connection to gambling harm, though this is not a requirement.

Please click 'Apply via website’ to be redirected to the Peridot Partners website, where you can find full details of the job description and register your interest to apply.

Applications for this role close at 9 a.m. Monday 13th January 2025.
