**Youth Practitioner (Entry Level)**:
**Zero hours**:
**£11.81 - £13.17 Per Hour**:
**The Harbour CWAD, Weymouth**:
This is an opportunity to join our new service as a youth practitioner (zero hours) based in the Weymouth area providing care and support to children and young people living in a residential children's home working with a small staff team and subsequently working across our communities and in homes to improve the lives of our children.

The priorities for our Dorset children are; that they stay in Dorset, which is the best place for them to live, that they are given the best start in life through good care provision and the best education and training opportunities, which enable them to thrive and be the best they can be.

**What you can expect to be doing**:
The role of youth practitioner is to ensure a safe and nurturing environment in which children and young people with disabilities are supported to reach their potential. The work will include some evening, weekend work including sleep-ins for which there is an allowance and bank holidays. We are a flexible employer and would welcome a discussion around a variety of hours to be mutually agreeable.

You will need to commit to complete one shift per month and complete relevant training for the role.

**About you**:
You will be passionate and aspirational in supporting young people, share our core values and celebrate differences. You will support young people with their day to day lives, activities and promote community participation and social inclusion, as well as helping children develop life skills.
You will be a naturally caring person who can form and maintain positive relationships with our children, young people and families, as well as partner agencies and allocated social workers who form a team around the child.
You will be ambitious for our children, creative and passion to ensure children and young people who are disabled are supported to achieve the best outcomes and provide them with the opportunities to flourish.

You will be able to work independently and as part of a team and are flexible in the approach so we can creatively individually support to each child, as well as work together to find solutions.
We are aspirational for our staff team as well as our children and you will be joining a supportive and inclusive council who will provide nurture and invest in you to enable you to thrive in your job. Dorset has a comprehensive training programme which supports your professional growth and development

This post requires significant travel. You must have a vehicle (or transport we deem suitable) available for use as needed.
