The Southmead Project is looking for a warm, caring, and organised person to join their Active Recovery Service.

The Southmead Project provides free specialist trauma counselling and support for adult survivors of abuse across Bristol and surrounding areas.

Their Active Recovery Project gives adult survivors of abuse the opportunity to take part in community-based activities in Somerset.

Members of Active Recovery can participate in a variety of trauma-informed group activities with others, resulting in increased confidence and reduced isolation.

The Active Recovery Practitioner will support in the delivery of the Active Recovery Project, providing initial trauma-informed assessment phone calls and/or meetings with potential members. Additionally, they will support the setting up, delivering and debriefing about activity sessions with members and volunteers, and support any members attending sessions who may become overwhelmed.

The successful candidate will have a professional qualification in Counselling, or other relevant fields of work. They will have a sound understanding of the issues affecting those who have experienced trauma and abuse, as well as knowledge of local, activity-based organisations in Somerset.
