About the Role

We are helping a children's residential home find a Senior Social Care Practitioner to provide practical day-to-day care for children (mainly teenagers) in a loving and supportive way.

  • Quickly establish trusting relationships with children which enable their growth and development.
  • Organise, participate in and plan shared activities and interests with children to nurture their wellbeing, learning and growth.
  • If you have extra skills that you can utilise to engage, teach, distract, and relate, then so much the better - musicians, artists, cooks, gardeners, and coders are all welcome.

  • Take responsibility for ensuring the health and safety of children by maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment.
  • Safeguard and promote the welfare of the children living in the home, taking practical steps to ensure their safety. This includes identifying, recording, and reporting any risk of harm or child protection concerns in accordance with policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements.
  • Be responsible for and support children’s physical health and wellbeing, including helping them access medical services, and administering medication or first aid as necessary.
  • Be willing and capable to take part in Juno-approved physical intervention training, with a focus on de-escalation.
  • Once you have successfully passed your induction period, you may be asked to be a Shift Leader, ensuring that the shift runs smoothly and all tasks are completed. You will be expected to take a problem-solving approach and you will lead the shift handover to the next shift.
