Maintain Home Environment: Ensure a safe and clean home environment, including managing domestic tasks like cleaning, cooking, and general housekeeping.
Team Collaboration: Work independently and as part of a team. Participate in regular supervision, personal development plans, and relevant training.
Record Keeping & Compliance: Ensure timely and accurate completion of daily/weekly reports. Adhere to company policies, procedures, and regulatory standards (e.g., Ofsted).
Key Worker Duties: Act as the key worker for one or more young people, taking responsibility for assessing needs, developing care plans, and reviewing progress.

Resilience and ability to work under pressure in challenging circumstances.
Ability to motivate others and remain positive in difficult situations.
Strong commitment to professional development and continuous learning.
Ability to lead a team in the absence of the Manager or Deputy Manager.
Respect for confidentiality and privacy at all times.

Qualifications & Experience

Level 4 Diploma in Children’s and Young People’s Workforce (or working towards).
Minimum of 2 years' experience in a childcare or youth setting at the RCP level.
Full, clean UK driving license is essential, as the role requires transporting young people to appointments, education, social events, and family contacts.
Enhanced DBS check.
Right to Work in the UK.
