**About us**:
Buckinghamshire Council is a relatively new organisation that combines the strengths and expertise of the previous five councils in the county to create positive change for local people, communities, and businesses. We are firmly focused on the future and have made a clear commitment to serve residents better and to provide stronger representation for Buckinghamshire, both locally and nationally.

Our residential homes provide a safe and nurturing environment for our young people with adverse childhood experiences to be supported to flourish. This will often include children who demonstrate a behaviour of concern. We provide them with a safe, caring community in which they can learn how to build positive relationships and support them in becoming successful adults.

**Hear from one of our staff** -_ _“There are many reasons why I love working in a residential home for Buckinghamshire Council. I go home at the end of each day knowing I have made a difference to a young person’s life and their future. At Bucks, I know there are many opportunities to be able to develop in my role, I am recognised for the hard work I do which gives me a great sense of achievement.”_

**Quote from OFSTED**:

- “Staff understand and manage the safeguarding issues relating to the children’s behaviours extremely effectively”._
- “The registered manager expertly demonstrates excellent practice. This creates a culture of high expectations and aspirations for children and staff”._
- “Children have gained qualifications and skills in employability, tiling and functional skills. They have also gained certificates recognising their educational progress since living in the home”._

**About the role**:
**Main Responsibilities and Duties**:

- To encourage and stimulate emotional and social growth by devising and organising out-of-school activities, encouraging the children/young people to socialise and to join organisations outside the Home.
- To make specific contributions to the formation and the implementation of care/placement for young people.
- To facilitate children/young people to develop life and social skills and age-appropriate independence and to learn to manage their own behaviour through the establishment of purposeful and constructive relationships.
- To facilitate the provision of a warm, accepting environment within which the physical, emotional, social, educational, cultural, and spirited needs of individuals can be met.
- To undertake link worker tasks and responsibilities and to constructively contribute to staff meetings.
