Band 6 Nurse/Practitioner in Proactive Support Service

This role would particularly suit a Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) or Registered Learning Disability Nurse (RNLD). However, we also welcome applications from Registered Social Workers and other suitably qualified and registered practitioners who can demonstrate relevant experience and skills in supporting children and young people with complex needs, trauma, behavioural challenges, and placement instability.

We are looking for a reflective and innovative practitioner who is passionate about trauma-informed and relational approaches to supporting children and young people.

Experience of Dyadic Developmental Practice (DDP), therapeutic parenting approaches, or similar models would be advantageous. Training and/or experience in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is also desirable.

The role involves working intensively to support children and young people at risk of placement breakdown, care entry, or delayed discharge through the Children with No Onward Destination (CNOD) pathway.

You will provide assessment, consultation, direct intervention and system-wide support, working closely with families, carers, residential providers, social care, education and health colleagues to build resilience, improve stability and reduce crisis. A key aspect of the role is supporting and empowering the networks around the child, helping others understand and respond to behaviours of distress through a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach.
