You’ll also provide a key liaison point for parents and carers and ensure all health/medical needs are looked after throughout the night. You will be the listening ear and emotional support for young people to talk to after a busy day.
The key to this role will be your ability to participate and to motivate whilst ensuring our students develop their own independent living skills.
Duties will vary, you must expect to diversify and lend a hand wherever is required.Skills and Qualifications

Willingness to participate, be positive and creative in meeting our young person’s needs
Able to support and develop independence skills such as budgeting, cooking, housekeeping as well as accessing the wider community
Ability to prompt / encourage in a positive manner whilst providing social/emotional behavioural support
Ability to show a strong understanding of what “good care” looks like and how to put the young person’s needs first, whilst empowering them to be independent

Given the age of our students all applicants must be 21 and over
