The City of Doncaster Council is a confident, ambitious organisation which puts improving the life of its residents at the centre of everything we do. You have an opportunity to be part of this in the role of Pause Practitioner.

Are you an ambitious, creative, and influential practitioner who is passionate about reducing the number of children being removed into care by supporting women to bring about change in their lives?

Doncaster is working in collaboration with the national charity, Pause, to deliver the Pause Programme. Pause works to improve the lives of women who have had – or are at risk of having – more than one child removed from their care, and the services and systems that affect them.

As a Pause Practitioner, you will be responsible for implementing a range of interventions and support measures as part of an integrated package of health, therapeutic and social support.

You’ll be a big part of a small team, where everyone takes a flexible and collaborative approach to work and is committed to working with women to create positive changes in their lives.

Like Pause, you will be passionate about changing entrenched social issues and will respond by ‘doing things differently’. You will play an integral part of a team where everyone takes an energetic, flexible and collaborative approach to their work, and a determination to reduce the number of children going into care.

We value a range of experiences and skills. If you have transferable skills from other roles or…
