Practice Lead

Pause works with women who have experienced – or are at risk of – repeated pregnancies that result in children needing to be removed from their care. The programme gives women the chance to pause and take control over their lives, breaking a destructive cycle that causes both them and their children deep trauma. We are now working with more women who have experienced multiple removals than anyone else in the country.

Pause is working with four local authorities in the Liverpool City Region to deliver the Pause programme across Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool and Wirral. Our two Pause Practices collaborate closely and link with the existing Pause Practice in St Helens, to ensure a regional approach to the Pause programme.

The Pause Practice Lead for Liverpool and Wirral will manage a team of 7 - including Pause Practitioners and one Co-ordinator. The Practice Lead will ensure effective delivery of the Pause programme – they will work alongside their teams, bringing a wealth of direct practice experience of complex work to maximise the team’s potential.

The Practice Lead will provide high levels of supervision and leadership to team members from a variety of disciplines, as well ensuring fidelity and integrity to the model. They will typically have significant experience in both operational and project management, with an ability to manage complex data and demonstrate impact. Additionally, they will usually have experience of evidence informed approaches.
