Derby, United Kingdom Shaw Trust Full time

We're recruiting now for enthusiastic, supportive and resilient people to join our new home in Derbyshire

Working in our residential children’s homes At Homes2Inspire means working for a dedicated team providing nurturing and supportive environments for young people in our care. We are committed to helping build a brighter future for our young people by offering stability, guidance, and pathways to becoming well-rounded adults - and our support staff are there every step of the way

The nature of the role varies in pace, and you will be working directly with vulnerable young people who have adverse backgrounds and require a trauma-informed nurturing environment. For some young people, the behaviours caused by previous trauma can mean that it is too risky for them to live with others, and smaller homes with higher staffing ratios are required to ensure that young people in need have a place to call home and the support system in place to work through difficult emotions and behaviours.

If you are passionate about helping young people reach their full potential and believe you have the qualities we are looking for, we would love to hear from you. Homes2Inspire are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults

**The Role**:

Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, including healthcare professionals, to ensure holistic care.
Organising and participating in recreational activities.
Creating a safe and welcoming environment.

**Key Responsibilities**:
Building positive nurturing relationships with vulnerable young people with complex needs.
Empower and motivate young people to achieve their goals and overcome difficult emotions and behaviours.
Foster a positive and supportive atmosphere within the home.
Maintain accurate records and documentation.
Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to ensure the best outcomes for the young people in your care.
Commitment to personal wellbeing and healthy reflective practice.

**What you’ll bring**:
Compassion, patience, and a genuine desire to make a difference in young people’s lives.
A willingness to work towards or current qualification in QCF level 3 in Residential Childcare.
Previous experience providing emotional and behavioural support in a professional setting is highly desirable
Willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends to meet operational needs of the home
Positive role model - honesty and empathy are a must.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

**What We Offer**:
The chance to have a meaningful impact on the lives of young people
3 weeks of off-the-job training with an extensive training course and support to prepare you for the role
Funded opportunity to achieve QCF Level 3 Residential Childcare qualification
Continued professional development opportunities
Supportive and collaborative team environment
Attendance bonus scheme offers earning potential of an additional £1400 per annum
28 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays with increases with length of service (up to 33 days after 5 years’ service) and ability to purchase additional annual leave

Medicash - claim back an annual cost of everyday healthcare, such as dental, optical treatment and specialist treatment for yourself and your family members
Wellbeing Support - Employee Assistant Program (EAP) 24/7 access to support via phone, sms, whatsapp and live chat. 8 free counselling sessions/short-term solutions provided.
