Health and Social Programme Manager (Trauma Informed) | Bexley | 35 hours per week | £36,500 per annum

Our client is seeking to appoint a Trauma Informed Programme Manager to lead their ambitious plan to make Crossroads Care SEL a trauma informed and trauma responsive organisation.

They are a local charity of 30 + years' experience delivering practical and emotional community-based respite and support services across the London boroughs of Bexley, Greenwich, and Lewisham to unpaid carers and older people in their own home or in the community.

They aim to reduce the stress and anxieties all unpaid carers and older people face caring for a loved one, family, or friend through appropriate interventions.

They believe that with the right interventions in place, it will enable unpaid carers to continue with their caring responsibilities, increase their resilience to support their ongoing well-being and create a life that is meaningful to them irrespective of their caring role.

The successful applicant will work closely with the Senior Management Team and Trauma Therapist, providing detailed assessments to support any practical or therapy-based interventions to help the recovery and healing of trauma as part of their suite of interventions to their beneficiaries.
