- Developing your own knowledge and skills, as well as that of others.
- Contributing to continuous quality improvement.
- Promoting people’s equality, diversity, and rights.
- Working autonomously with minimum supervisions.

- Reacting quickly and efficiently in emergency situations, and to ensure the wellbeing of the young children/people and others.
- Being confident in complying with all regulatory requirements, i.e., Health and Safety, COSHH, RIDDOR and Accident Reporting.
- Being confident with support plans, risk assessments, and being able to complete a thorough handover to the rest of the team and management regarding the individual concerned in a positive, structured, and professional manner.
