About us:  

The semi-independent service has self-contained rooms in homes across Norfolk. The homes provide accommodation for Looked After Children or young people Leaving Care that are between the ages 16 -18. We help our young people to develop their independent living skills and wellbeing, enabling them to be ready to progress fully onto independence post 18.

To be a positive role model to the young people engaged in the independent living scheme. 

To advise, help assist with domestic tasks within the accommodation at a level and frequency agreed with the young person and the Team Manager/Senior. 

To form effective relationships with the young people and their families to ensure that their emotional and physical needs are met and those opportunities for their development are maximised. 

To ensure that the young person’s views and wishes are sought and reported back to the young person’s social worker and the Team Manager/Senior. 

To ensure that good quality written detailed records are maintained regarding the progress of the young people. 

The role requires the support staff to work a shift pattern and it is essential for staff to sleep in as part of the shift. You will be based in a set location in Sprowston but may be required to cover and to travel to other homes throughout the Norfolk area. You will therefore be required to have your own form of transportation.
