ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Are you an experienced, solution oriented, systemic working, child focused practitioner, keen to work alongside partners and particularly our children and young people to deliver a new model of residential intervention in Rotherham? This post could be for you...
The posts will play a key role in the delivery of the vision we have around our edge of care and residential service. We are looking for practitioners who are skilled in working with children and their families in emergency situations, where an entry into care looks like the next step. The emergency residential settings and staffing are focused on working alongside the Team around the child in a proactive way and playing a key role in intensive support packages as part of the residential team and or in the community with families. We are seeking dynamic, solution focused practitioners, who enjoy working with children and their families to achieve success and who want to work alongside our innovative edge of care model.
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 are using current best practice and evidence-based models to develop a range of new children`s homes including 2 and 4 bed EBD, emergency accommodation and solo provision for some of our most complex children and young people.
We are particularly looking for practitioners who have previous experience of working in specialist solo provision, mental health residential settings, crisis accommodation and with children and young people with sensory, ASD, mental health needs and who have suffered significant trauma. For the emergency settings we are looking for practitioners who work systemically and have experience of working with the whole family approach.
This new residential provision will be part of a Children and Young People Service judged as `Good` by Ofsted in August 2022 and build on practice from our short break residential home provision.
Children's Residential Practitioners in Rotherham will:
Promote, safeguard and protect the welfare of looked after children across the boroughKey work individual children and young people, building effective relationships, being a positive role model and providing consistency of support
Apply agreed evidence based therapeutic and behavioural management approaches and practice models
Provide opportunities for children and young people to influence the decisions that affect them and the service they receive

Undertake staff training, attend staff meetings and formal supervision sessions
Provide and promote a safe, stimulating and nurturing physical environment

Ability to transport children and young people to and from school/activities
Key benefits of working at Rotherham Council's Children and Young People's service are:Strong support and clear direction from Managers
Extensive training programme, to develop and professionalise our residential practitioners. This includes the Rotherham Family Approach incorporating Signs of Safety and Restorative Practice
Residential services that have access to and work closely with our high quality in house therapeutic service

About you
We are seeking inspirational, resilient and child focused practitioners who are committed to:
Developing their skills and practices in order to provide an outstanding residential service to children and young people
Supporting and caring for some of our most complex children and young people, at times in solo provision
Working evening, weekend and sleep in shifts as part of the residential team
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.
By being part of our residential service, you will play a crucial role in developing our collective commitment to an ethos of excellence, integrity, trust and transparency. You will also be joining us at a time of change as we continue to develop our provision, providing you with an opportunity to be involved and influence the service design and development of practice in line with best practice and evidence-based approaches.
