Help Make a Lasting Difference

Do you want to use your psychological knowledge and skills to improve the lives of care experienced children and young people?

Foster Wales Neath Port Talbot is seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Assistant Psychologist to join our innovative in-house Therapeutic Team the Multi Agency Therapeutic Support Service (MATSS).

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a well-established service that supports foster carers, social work teams, children and young people through a trauma-informed and therapeutic approach.

Assist in the development and facilitation of therapeutic support groups and training programmes.
Contribute to consultations with foster carers, social workers and other professionals.
Support the evaluation and monitoring of therapeutic interventions and outcomes.
Assist with the development of resources to enhance foster carers' understanding of attachment, trauma and child development.

Is able to build positive relationships with foster carers and professionals from a range of disciplines.
Has strong organisational skills and can manage competing priorities.
Is committed to improving outcomes for care experienced children and young people.

Experience within fostering, children's social care, education, mental health or family support services would be advantageous.

What We Offer

The opportunity to work within a highly regarded and supportive therapeutic team.
Regular professional supervision from a qualified Lead Psychologist.
Specialist external supervision if required
Access to training and development opportunities.
The opportunity to help shape and develop therapeutic support for foster carers across Neath Port Talbot.
A chance to make a genuine difference in helping children and young people remain in stable, nurturing family placements.

Why Join Us?

At Foster Wales Neath Port Talbot, we are committed to ensuring that care experienced children and young people have the opportunity to thrive within stable, loving family environments. Our therapeutic approach is central to this vision, helping carers understand children's experiences, build stronger relationships and promote emotional wellbeing and placement stability.

If you are passionate about applying psychology to improve outcomes for some of our most vulnerable children and young people, we would love to hear from you.

About us:

We believe in rewarding and recognising our colleagues’ efforts and achievements. We also believe that there’s life at work and life outside of work. We want everyone to be healthy and happy and have the financial resources and support they need.

Choose to work for us and you’ll be rewarded with a range of attractive benefits and support to help you live your best life.
