Worthing, United Kingdom WSCC Full time

**About Us**
Blue Cove is a short-term emergency assessment home that provides support to children at times of crisis or significant periods of change in their lives. We are seeking a passionate individual with excellent organisational skills and to ensure the team is offering high standards of support to children with a focus on consistency and aspirational outcomes and a “can do” attitude to support our home.

Blue Cove offers support and care to children who present with a range of social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties due to family breakdown and early childhood trauma. These children are often at risk in the community and as such, it is our goal to keep them safe from harm whilst we work with partner agencies to find a suitable placement or to support them to reintegrate into their previous or a new setting.

Blue Cove is a 3-bed home and welcomes children, of all genders, between the ages of 12 and 16 years at the time of referral. We offer emergency placements to children lasting between 28 and 90 days, based on their individual circumstances and needs. Staff support children through building positive relationships and role modelling. Children will be encouraged to partake in a range of activities, both in and outdoors to build upon their confidence and resilience. Blue Cove is a fast-paced, exciting home to work in, providing exceptional care and support for children.
