The young people you will support may have a range of needs, including Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD), autism, learning differences, trauma backgrounds, attachment needs, and other complex needs.

• Supporting young people with emotional wellbeing and regulation
• Following care plans, behaviour support plans, and risk assessments
• Maintaining accurate records and reports
• Promoting safeguarding and welfare at all times
• Working as part of a dedicated team to achieve positive outcomes for young people

What We're Looking For
• Experience working with children and young people is desirable but not essential
• A caring, resilient, and patient approach
• An interest in supporting young people with EBD, autism, learning disabilities, and complex needs
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Flexibility to work a variety of shifts, including days, evenings, weekends, waking nights, and sleep-ins
• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children
• Enhanced DBS or willingness to obtain one

What We Offer
• Pay rates up to £19.00 per hour
• Flexible temporary work to fit around your availability
• Regular ongoing shifts with a variety of services
• Free online training and development
• £40 DBS refund after completing 150 hours* (terms apply)
