Job description

We have a rare opportunity for a Children’s Counsellor to join a team of specialists working with children impacted by domestic and family violence and trauma.

You will work with children, their mothers, and the whole family unit to rebuild attachment. You will need a deep passion for working with children to build their self-esteem, understand their feelings and learn new ways to express them.

YFS has an innovative approach to the way we work with children and families, and we know there are so many benefits to this. This is your chance to be part of an experienced, dedicated team and work alongside our specialists to help children build a future free of violence and abuse.

You will provide advocacy, attachment-based counselling, trauma informed interventions, initial and ongoing assessment of the child’s development and liaise with schools / other services involved with the family. 

Through your work you will improve parental and sibling relationships and attachment which includes joint work with mothers.
