Protective Care Group is seeking a dedicated Childcare Support Specialist to join our team. As a key member of our care team, you will play a vital role in supporting the children and young people in our care by creating a safe, caring, and loving environment.

Our young people have faced incredibly challenging beginnings in life, and as a result, they are navigating the complexities of healing and understanding their experiences. This can sometimes result in challenging behaviour, including absconding, self-harm, and physical violence. You must be comfortable with these behaviours and be able to provide the necessary support and care.

While this role can be challenging, it is also incredibly rewarding. Our young people love getting out and being active, and we encourage them to participate in a range of activities, including hiking, kayaking, and cooking. If a young person wants to do something, it's our job to ensure it happens safely and with care.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide high-quality care and support to children and young people in our care
  • Work collaboratively with our care team to create a safe and nurturing environment
  • Support young people to participate in activities and achieve their goals

Requirements:

  • A Level 3 qualification in Child and Residential Care (or a suitable alternative) is desirable
  • An outgoing personality and a willingness to get stuck in are essential
  • An understanding of trauma and its effects on behaviour is an advantage, but training will be provided
  • Full right to work in the UK and a valid UK manual driving license are required

Benefits:

  • A competitive basic salary of £32,000 plus uplifts for each shift worked with a young person and for sleeping nights
  • Paid annual leave, company sick pay, and company pension
  • Training and development opportunities to help you progress in your career
  • Dedicated wellbeing support from management and internal wellbeing specialists
