The CALM Service are recruiting two posts to work at Relate Bradford and Step 2.

Family Systemic Counsellor (1 x 31.5 hours) & Children's Counsellor (2 x 15 hours)

Family Action, Relate Bradford, and Step 2 are set to test a new trauma informed partnership, to reach primary-aged children with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) across Bradford. We will target primary school children aged 4 to 11 across Bradford who have experienced one or more ACEs and are struggling with trauma symptoms and/or impaired family functioning as a result.

Together, the CALM service will deliver a package of therapy to these children and their families.

The CALM service aims to:

• build on strengths and increase resilience
• improve children’s mental health
• reduce the impact of ACEs
• support transition to secondary school, improving future attendance, attainment, confidence and wellbeing
• empower school staff to support vulnerable young people through improved understanding and awareness of ACEs and their impact on children
• reduce health inequalities and prevent/reduce the risk of long-term health effects.
