An exciting opportunity has arisen for a practitioner psychologist working with Llamau as a third sector partner, to deliver the psychology provision of ‘My Way Home’ project for young people who are experiencing homelessness. This is the final year of a 5-year National Lottery funded project, which aims to end youth homelessness. The purpose of the project is to deliver an innovative trauma and psychologically informed model of care to the most vulnerable young people in our community. The project aims to effect system change around youth homelessness, making it a rare event and when it does happen making it brief and non-recurrent. The post holder will have responsibility to work with Llamau’s psychology team to develop and implement a trauma and psychologically informed service for young people experiencing homelessness.

At Llamau we believe that no young person or vulnerable woman should ever have to experience homelessness. Our mission is to eradicate homelessness for young people and vulnerable women. But for thousands of the most vulnerable people in Wales, homelessness is a frightening reality.
30 years ago Llamau was founded to provide homeless teenagers with a safe place to stay. Since then, we have supported over 67,000 young people, women and their children who are either homeless or facing homelessness.
Many people think the job of a homelessness charity will be to provide accommodation - a safe place to stay. But it is very clear to us that for most people who are facing homelessness, their problems are far more complex than a lack of permanent shelter.
That's why we treat everyone who needs our support as an individual. We recognise their unique strengths and needs and make sure that they are supported to rebuild their futures.
