- Engage with external agencies such as law enforcement and emergency services as required.
- Assist young individuals in attending medical facilities or law enforcement offices when necessary.
ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience in supporting vulnerable young people.
- Flexibility in availability, including willingness to work weekends.
- Possession of a Residential Childcare/Families Practitioner Diploma, Children and Young People's Workforce qualification, NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care, or a commitment to pursue relevant qualifications.
- A valid driving license and access to a vehicle for travel purposes.
- Proficient computer skills.
CANDIDATE PROFILE:
- Resilience and the ability to positively manage challenging and diverse behaviours.
- Strong self-awareness and a commitment to serving as a positive role model.
- A high level of personal accountability.
- Motivation to achieve excellence and a passion for empowering young individuals to realize their full potential.
