Creative Community Outreach Practitioner for Children & Teens

EdShift is growing, and we’re looking for a compassionate and creative Community Outreach Practitioner to join our team.

As part of our 2026 strategy, we are increasing our frontline delivery capacity so that more children and young people affected by domestic abuse can access support earlier and more consistently. This new role will play an important part in helping us reduce waiting times and expand safe, trauma-informed support across Calderdale and beyond.

The role involves delivering arts-based, relational support to children and young people aged 4–21 who have experienced domestic abuse. From creative one-to-one sessions to supporting safe group spaces, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in children’s lives every day.

We believe healing happens through creativity, connection, safety and courage.

We are looking for someone who shares those values and wants to be part of a growing organisation committed to ensuring every child feels seen and heard.
