**About Us**

At Action for Children, we believe that every child should have a safe and happy childhood. Last year, we helped more than 600,000 children and families across the UK. We work to ensure their voices are heard and we campaign to bring lasting change to their lives.

**A little about the role and service**:
Our Edinburgh and Lothian Therapeutic clubs delivers a stimulating and safe weekly, term-time **Therapeutic** **Activity Programme **for disabled children/young people. Needs-led therapeutic activities will reflect children's age, abilities, and preferences. Children/young people will have fun, socialise, and enjoy positive experiences whilst their families have a break from caring responsibilities. A combination of building and community-based activities will promote inclusion and broaden children's experiences.

As a Children & Families Practitioner you will be supporting vulnerable children/young people and families. This includes inclusive services for disabled children and families, helping to improve outcomes and quality of life. We are experts in supporting children/young people with complex needs and challenging behaviour. Our disability services include residential care homes, bespoke residential placements, short breaks, community-based outreach, and specialist fostering placements.

Hours will be made up from the following: 3 x 7.5 hours each day between Monday to Sunday.

**You can help our Young People by**:

- Providing a safe environment where they can enjoy time with their friends.
- Working towards giving children a positive future.
- Helping them in all aspects of their daily lives and supporting their health and happiness.

**What You'll Bring**:
Our job description outlines the requirements of the role but the ‘must-haves' are:

- Commitment to working on a flexi rota from Wednesday to Sunday during the term time and Monday to Friday during school holidays period as well as bank holidays.
- Ideally, a HNC and SVQ 3 in a social care discipline, or a qualification in social care, nursing, education, which would meet the registration requirements.
- Experience of working with disabled young people.
- Safeguarding knowledge.
- A positive approach, providing a fun environment for all the children in our care.

Working here is so much more than a job. It's an investment of time to truly make a difference to the lives of vulnerable children, young people, and families across the UK.

We value and celebrate the diversity of those that work with us and as an inclusive workplace we want all our current and future staff to feel able to be themselves in the workplace.
