- Encouraging engagement in education, training, and employment opportunities.
- Safeguarding young people in line with statutory guidance and company policies.
- Supporting community involvement, activities, and personal development.
- Working as part of a team to provide stability and consistency in the home.
- Recording keywork sessions, daily logs, and contributing to support planning.
What We’re Looking For
- Passion for supporting young people to achieve independence.
- Ability to build strong and supportive relationships.
- Patience, resilience, and adaptability.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills.
- Willingness to work flexible hours including evenings, weekends, and sleep-ins.
- Experience in supported accommodation, residential childcare, or similar setting is desirable but not essential.
- Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare or willingness to complete this within agreed timescales.
Why Work With Us?
- Competitive pay and sleep-in allowances.
- A brand-new service where you can help shape culture and practice from the ground up.
- Full training and continuous professional development.
- Trauma-informed, supportive team environment.
- Career progression opportunities across our wider organisation.
