Job description

Overview

The Green House is the only specialist service in Bristol, Bath & Northeast Somerset, and South Gloucestershire supporting children, young people, and families affected by sexual abuse. Our evidence-based, creative, and community-led service model has transformed access to support, reducing wait times by 63%. While rooted locally, our training and survivor-led programmes are shaping the national response to child sexual abuse. This is an exciting time to join our ambitious team as we deliver a new strategy designed to break the silence around child sexual abuse.

We have just secured national funding for the first time for the VOICE Project and are looking for a Senior VOICE Practitioner to lead development and expansion of the programme.

We are seeking a skilled facilitator, leader, activist, and changemaker who can bring energy, creativity, and confidence to working with young people and parents/carers with lived experience of trauma. While experience in therapeutic settings is valuable, this role is not focused on therapeutic delivery. We are looking for someone who thrives on group facilitation, co-production, and activism and who understands the power of connection and is passionate about shaping wider systems and influencing national change.

Responsibilities

• Lead development and expansion of the VOICE Project.
• Facilitate group sessions and co-produce activities with young people and parents/carers with lived experience of trauma.
• Coordinate and deliver the two VOICE workstreams: Young People’s VOICE and Parent/Carer VOICE.
• Deliver a creative arts leadership programme (6 weekly group), alongside creative drop-in spaces, individual projects, and paid-for mentorship opportunities with young people.
• Oversee monthly Parent/Carer VOICE group sessions, parent-led drop-in spaces, and individual projects.
• Support the VOICE Project’s national CSA practitioner network and contribute to wider systemic change.
• Collaborate with teams to ensure trauma-informed, participant-led approaches are embedded in programme delivery.

Qualifications

• Background in youth work, trauma services (e.g., domestic abuse, sexual abuse), social care, community outreach, education, or social justice movements.
• Experience with group facilitation, co-production, and activism; therapeutic delivery is not required but valued.
• Ability to work with young people and families who have experienced trauma, fostering connection and leadership among participants.
