ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Are you an experienced, innovative, solution oriented, child care practitioner, keen to work alongside partners and particularly our children and young people to develop a new model of residential intervention in Rotherham?
This post could be for you…
Rotherham Council has made a strategic decision to make a significant investment in children’s residential services. This will ensure more of our looked after children are placed in Rotherham, close to their local communities, family and schools.
We plan to use current best practice and evidence-based models to develop a range of new children's homes, that are small, replicate family life and seek step down to family-based options wherever possible.
We want our residential homes to be an 'intervention not a destination.'
We are looking for Residential Practitioners to help us on our new journey.
Residential Practitioners in Rotherham will:
Promote safeguard and protect the welfare of children and young people
Ensure homes comply with all standards and legislative requirements
Provide opportunities for children and young people to influence the decisions that affect them and the service they receive
Promote a therapeutic approach for children
Work systemically with a range of agencies to ensure a joined-up service centred on the child
Contribute to the development of standards in line with Children’s Home Regulations 2015 and work towards ensuring all homes being Good or Outstanding
Key benefits of working at Rotherham Council’s Children and Young People’s Residential service are:
Strong support and clear direction from managers
Extensive training programmes and induction. This will include the ‘Signs of Safety’ operating model and Restorative Practice approaches as well as full training from our “in house” Therapeutic Crisis Intervention Team.
Residential services that have access to and work closely with our high quality therapeutic service
Innovative Edge of Care Services and a strong Early Help offer which is reducing demand and supporting professionals to think systemically and develop creative options to support children and young people
Looked After Children are prioritised for CAMHS assessment and intervention
The opportunity to make a real difference to the children, young people and families
Investment in you as a practitioner involving support, supervision, training and opportunity for professional development and progression.
All our teams have senior staff on duty that will also include deputy managers across the service during weekends and evenings.
Local Authority pension and generous annual leave entitlements plus sleep-in allowances and enhanced rates for unsocial hours and weekends/bank holidays.

Innovate to help re-define children’s residential care

Our vision is for the children and families of Rotherham to routinely experience and describe the services they receive from us, as outstanding and we intend to do that by putting the child first in everything we do.
We are looking for staff that are both experienced or new to residential care, if you have the dedication, commitment and compassion to provide exceptional care, we want to hear from you.
