**Two posts | permanent contracts | full-time 37 hours per week | £34,834 to £36,648 per annum (Grade I) | King’s Lynn, Norfolk**

**Are you a qualified Social Worker or Nurse?**

**Do you have experience of working with children with complex needs?**

**Are you looking for a rewarding career outside of mainstream social work?**

**About us**:
Marshfields is a short break home which provides emergency and time limited specialist care for young people of either gender aged between 5-18 years with complex needs, where either family, foster care, or other community-based placements are not possible or desirable at the time.

**The role**:
As a Senior Residential Children’s Practitioner, you will be responsible for creating a positive environment for each disabled child with particular regard for their disability, safety, health and education. Reporting into the Assistant Team Manager you will be a key part of the leadership team and take an active role in the support and mentoring of Residential Childcare Practitioners as well as ensuring to provide direct high-quality care for children and young people to ensure that their holistic needs are met. You will be responsible for the home in the absence of the Team Manager and the Assistant Team manager.

You would be expected to provide personal intimate care to holistically support children and young people with disabilities which can include tasks such as feeding, washing, toileting, dressing, hoisting, administering medication along with health care tasks that can be met through appropriate training and delegation of clinical procedure.

Alongside providing meaningful stimulating daily in house and community activities to help young people to grow and develop, you will work as part of a team to create stability and support children and young people to achieve good outcomes. You will also take part in statutory reviews and planning meetings as required.

Our approach to practice within Norfolk is underpinned by Children’s Services practice vision ‘Vital Signs for Children’. This enables us to work as a whole system and with a whole family approach to assessment and intervention. Using a relationship-based approach we work to build consistent and trusted relationships with children and families. We are strengths oriented in our practice, identifying and building on the strengths of families to create positive change. Using outcome-focused practice we are committed to achieving the best outcomes for children, young people and their families.

**See why our team love their job**:

- “The most encouraging environment for young people to flourish.”_
- “My role as a Residential Children’s Practitioner involves supporting young people’s development and ensuring best individualised care for each person. Within our service we promote young people’s independence and social opportunities and encouraging them to reach their full potential. I work closely within the multi-agency professionals and build positive relationships with families. I enjoy being part of the network as able to use my skills and knowledge in ensuring children and young people reach their full potential to flourish regardless of their disability.”_
- “Within my team we are all driven by the same aim, we are always prepared to respond to the ever-changing requirements of the role with a positive attitude. Our ethos is ensuring that children and young people with disabilities have a fun safe stay which they are respected and valued. There is never a dull moment, lots of fun, and the privilege of spending time with some inspirational young people and colleagues. I enjoy my job so much that I have worked within this service for 10 years.”_
- “In addition to my job satisfaction, I benefit from having access to career development opportunities, ongoing training, pay enhancements for shift work, bank holidays and weekends, paid holidays, a pension scheme, and the many other benefits promoted with Norfolk County Council.”_
