Redcar, United Kingdom Protective Care Group Full time

If you think a Support Worker role with Protective Care Group is the same as every other residential childcare role, **think again.**

We’d love to be able to give you every eventuality of what you could encounter in this role, but the reality is the young people that we provide support to are **unpredictable **and demonstrate **extremely challenging behaviours**, so we often don’t know what one minute will look like to the next.

What we can tell you is that this role will involve:

- Providing person-centred and trauma informed care to young people with unique and complex needs, like severe attachment disorders, that stem can from childhood trauma, abuse and exploitation.
- Young people exhibiting extremely challenging behaviours like intense physical aggression and violence, threats, being targeted, sexualised behaviour, self-harm and absconding. These behaviours will cause our young people to regularly compromise their safety, so you need to be prepared that physical intervention can be necessary to protect them.
- Working in small teams in ratios of a minimum of 2:1.
- Developing young people via coaching and mentoring to support them in making positive behaviour changes, gain life skills and engage in activities that set them up for future success.
- Working collaboratively with external stakeholders to ensure the safety and needs of the young people in our care.

This is going to be a challenging role, but you’ll be part of a community who understand this and will support you. We are one big team who share the same goal of improving the quality of life for young people.

**Requirements**:
**We are looking for Support Workers who can demonstrate that they can respond to unpredictable behaviours and situations with adaptability, calmness, kindness and resilience. In addition to this we are looking for**:

Each team has a rota pattern designed to meet their young person’s individual needs so working hours may vary from team to team.
- A genuine passion for making a difference to the lives of young people.
- Knowledge of Safeguarding policies and procedures.
- A full UK manual driving license and are happy and comfortable travelling for work.
