  • Monitor and report on the progress and well-being of young people to inform care plans and strategies.
Requirements:
  • Previous experience working in a residential care setting or with vulnerable children and young people.
  • A strong understanding of the challenges facing children in care and the strategies to support them effectively.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage and build trust with young people.
  • Patience, empathy, and resilience when working with young people who may present challenging behaviours.
  • Flexibility and adaptability to meet the needs of a 24/7 residential environment (shift work may be required).
  • A valid DBS registered on the Update Service, or a willingness to apply for one.
  • A relevant qualification in Social Care or Childcare is desirable but not essential.
