This strategic and hands-on role will help Kinship strengthen its therapeutic offer and build the confidence and capacity of staff and kinship carers to understand trauma and the impact it has, and provide strategies to support. We are particularly interested in experience in developing trauma-informed parenting training and resources.

 - Leading the development and manualisation of trauma-informed practice across Kinship Connected, Kinship Reach, the Advice Service, and the Peer Support Service. This includes resources, approach and content.
 - Supporting organisational development to embed trauma-informed values in practice, culture, policy, and leadership, working with our Head of People and Culture.
 - Developing reflective practice approach to support managers to staff and volunteer resilience particularly across services. This could include a ‘train the trainer’ approach.
 - Auditing current practices and recommend systems and processes to support trauma-informed service delivery.
 - Developing and delivering capacity-building approaches and resources for kinship carers to help them identify and respond to trauma and mental health needs in children.
 - Working collaboratively with subject matter experts to develop self-guided training, toolkits, and multimedia resources.
 - Providing and leading expert input into the trauma-informed design and delivery of Kinship Connected, Kinship Reach, Advice Service and other 1-to-1 support programmes.
 - Guiding frontline delivery staff to adopt trauma-informed practice, including the use of strengths-based approaches and flexible, family-led planning.
 - Representing Kinship at external events and meetings to raise awareness of the services and to influence other organisations, policy and practice.
 - Full list of responsibilities in the the job pack below.
 
Essential knowledge, abilities, skills and experience includes:
- A qualified trauma-informed practitioner with significant experience in delivering or developing trauma-informed services.
 - Experience working with kinship carers or in adoption and fostering sector.
 - Proven experience applying the principles of trauma-informed care across organisations, preferably in children and family services.
