Jobs

The Green House is the only specialist service in Bristol, Bath & Northeast Somerset, and South Gloucestershire supporting children, young people, and families affected by sexual abuse. Our evidence-based, creative, and community-led service model has transformed access to support, reducing wait times by 63%. While rooted locally, our training and survivor-led programmes are shaping the national response to child sexual abuse. This is an exciting time to join our ambitious team as we deliver a new strategy designed to break the silence around child sexual abuse.

We have just secured national funding for the first time for the VOICE Project and are looking for a Senior VOICE Practitioner to lead development and expansion of the programme.

We are looking for a skilled facilitator, leader, activist, and changemaker who can bring energy, creativity, and confidence to working with young people and parents/carers with lived experience of trauma. While experience in therapeutic settings is valuable, this role is not focused on therapeutic delivery. We are seeking someone who thrives on group facilitation, co-production, and activism - someone who understands the power of connection and is passionate about shaping wider systems and influencing national change.

Purpose of the job

The Green House’s VOICE change-making project aims to support young survivors and their family members to lead social change through creativity. Together, we aim to create national systemic change around child sexual abuse. Our approach recognises the inherent strengths and possibility of all young people. We develop creative spaces where young people can connect with their community, grow beyond traumatic experiences and learn to lead services like ours, alongside social change. We see creative change-making and connecting those with lived experience together as imperative to healing. It is the hope for change that helps young people and their families to learn to live a whole life alongside traumatic experiences and step into their potential.

The VOICE Project has two workstreams: Young People’s VOICE and Parent/Carer VOICE. We work with young people to deliver a creative arts leadership programme (6 weekly group), alongside creative drop-in spaces, individual projects and paid-for mentorship opportunities. We work with our Parent/Carer VOICE group to deliver monthly group sessions, parent-led drop-in spaces and individual projects. The VOICE Project also leads our national child sexual abuse (CSA) practitioner network.

If you have a background in youth work, trauma services e.g., domestic abuse, sexual abuse, social care, community outreach, education, or social justice movements, we’d love to hear from you.
