Emotional Health and Wellbeing Practitioner

Child Action Northwest is an award winning charity providing a range of innovative and creative services across the North of England that support children, families and vulnerable adults. Our values of caring, empowerment, and never giving up are present in all we do and underpin our work. We believe in the power of the individual and communities to grow, develop and change.
Emotional Health and Wellbeing (EHWB), a service within CANW, offers therapeutic interventions and support to children, young people and their families. The role involves the facilitation of one to one therapeutic interventions with children (aged between 5-12 years). The support is offered within schools, community venues and some remote, online sessions as required. Successful candidates will be based where possible in their locality but this role involves the facilitation of support across the Bolton area. This is a rewarding opportunity, ideal for a graduate or professional to work in a supportive but challenging role, working directly with children, and occasionally their families. The role requires experience of working therapeutically with children, experience of safeguarding children, completing assessments and outcome monitoring to enable individuals to reach their potential.
This post has been created via extended funding, to provide 1-1 and occasionally family support to children aged 5-12 years.
