Introduction Reset is a bold new innovation designed to dramatically change the lives of some of the most vulnerable children in England today for the better. Reset exists for children who are on, or at risk of being placed on Deprivation of Liberty orders due to the high risks they face from themselves or others, their complex and intersecting needs, and due to the lack of effective support being available. The children Reset will support are likely to be aged 12 to 18 and face complex challenges that often stem from the impact of traumatic childhood experiences, such as mental ill-health, self-harming, being sexually and/or criminally exploited and getting caught in harmful risk-taking behaviours including the use of harmful substances such as drugs and alcohol. We are looking for a leader who wants to join the founding team and lead the development of this systemic relationship-based programme that is founded on the Breaking Cycles ingredients that have already shown to be highly effective with other vulnerable populations such as children caught up in or at risk of crime ( SHiFT ) and women who have had multiple children removed from their care ( Pause ). The role of Clinical Programme Director of Reset represents a once-in-a-career opportunity to define a new way of working with some of the most vulnerable children in the country. More information can be found in the accompanying document: Reset: An introduction , including our ambitions for impact as a national programme. Reset is determined to ensure that, wherever possible, children are able to thrive back within their own families and/or communities. You will be comfortable holding risk safely and supporting the family and professionals to feel contained and supported, enabling them to avoid unhelpful crisis responses, and sharing together high aspirations for the children and the outcomes they can achieve across all aspects of their lives. Are you the person ready to drive Reset forward with tenacity and determination to create the most effective residential and community response to children in these circumstances? Welcome from Chair Thank you for your interest in Reset. Are you the person to lead the design of the Reset clinical and practice model, to bring about the desperately needed change to how we support children and families who get lost between the often binary service provision of children's social care and mental health services? Do you embrace nuance, and feel driven to overhaul the current response to children and families in some of the most difficult circumstances? Starting with the first Reset Practice, you will build on the existing Breaking Cycles ingredients, designing a systemic, family-focused practice model that ultimately creates Reset Practices across the country, that will be accessible to all children who require a programme that is focused and purposeful, offering an immersive experience that negates the ever growing need for children to be placed away from families and ending up on Deprivation of Liberty orders or in similar circumstances. I hope that you are inspired to join us. We look forward to hearing from you. Sophie Humphreys OBE Reset Exec Chair Job Description The role: To lead all aspects of the delivery and design of Reset's national practice model alongside ensuring Reset's first Reset Practice is successful. Key responsibilities: Designing, delivering, and continually evolving the Reset Practice Framework, ensuring it is grounded in evidence, responsive to children's needs, and demonstrably effective through robust evaluation.
