Practitioner

Mpower Norfolk supports mothers (and where appropriate their partners) whose children have been removed into care. As a Practitioner, you will support people by building safe and trusting relationships, taking time to understand their story, their needs, and their preferences, and helping them to set and work towards goals. You will be joining a highly supportive and caring team with lots of opportunities to connect with colleagues and reflect on your practice. In your case work, you will work with independence and self-direction, drawing on the perspectives and knowledge of colleagues. You will need to use sensitive but persistent outreach to remove the barriers to engagement for those you support. The support you offer will last for up to 24 months and in some exceptional cases longer. Ultimately, your support will help people to make the meaningful changes they want to, rebuild their lives, and reduce the number of children being removed into care. You will be joining a service that has been running successfully for over ten years. In 2024, Mpower successfully attained the Working With Trauma: Trauma Aware quality mark, so you will play a part in the implementation of our plans to become a trauma-informed service.
