Doncaster, Doncaster, United Kingdom Reed Full time

Reed is supporting Doncaster City Council in recruiting a Senior Residential Support Worker to join their team. This role plays a crucial part in providing life-changing support to vulnerable children and young people.

The Senior Practitioner's role is to lead the residential practitioner team, supporting, encouraging, and safeguarding children and young people in their development. This includes fostering positive relationships and maintaining strong bonds between children and staff based on shared daily life and routines, joint activities, and established boundaries of acceptable behaviour.

Key Responsibilities:

Care and Support:

Implement care plans, conduct risk assessments, and devise support and health plans to ensure the well-being of children and young people.

Provide appropriate levels of personal care, including bathing, toileting, dressing, changing, and feeding as appropriate.

Support children and young people's emotional, mental, and physical health needs to build self-esteem and promote positive relationships.

Nurture children's ambitions for their future and their learning, both in and out of school.

Provide and maintain a safe, stimulating, and secure living and learning environment.

Respect privacy while maintaining a duty of care, ensuring that living spaces are clean and safe.

Maintain a close working relationship with colleagues, other council directorates, service users, carers, external agencies, and the wider public.

Work with professionals and communities of origin to sustain links and understand past problems.

Manage complex and challenging behaviour in an assertive, restorative, and sensitive manner.

Work to reduce the likelihood that a child/young person becomes criminalized, encouraging restorative approaches and outcomes.

To be successful in this role, you must hold a minimum NVQ/QCF Diploma Level 3 in Residential Child Care, as well as the QFC Leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People's Services Level 5. If you do not hold this qualification, we will fund you to study for it.

Experience Required:

Recent experience of working with young people or vulnerable adults who may have emotional or behavioural difficulties, in either a paid or voluntary capacity.

Supervision of staff, personal and team development, and training.

This is an exciting time to join the authority as they expand their services for children and young people.
