- Help to implement individual care plans, therapeutic management strategies, and risk assessments.
- Collaborate closely with other professionals (e.g., social workers, therapists) to ensure holistic support for each child.
- Actively participate in team meetings, training sessions, and reflective practice.
- Maintain accurate records and reports, ensuring compliance with policies and regulatory standards.
- Respond to challenging behaviour in a calm and supportive manner, using de-escalation techniques and a therapeutic approach.
- Uphold safeguarding practices, ensuring the safety and well-being of all children in our care.
- Support the children in understanding and managing their emotions, trauma, and any complex needs they may have.

**Skills**

**Essential**:

- A passion for working with children and young people, particularly those with SEMH needs.
- Empathy, patience, and resilience in handling complex behaviours.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with both children and colleagues.
- Ability to work flexibly, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays as required.
- Strong teamwork skills with a proactive and reliable attitude.
- Commitment to ongoing learning and professional development.

**Desirable**:

- Experience in a similar role or working with children in a residential setting.
- NVQ Level 3 in Children’s Residential Care or a willingness to work towards this qualification.
- Full UK driving licence (preferred but not essential).
- Knowledge of safeguarding and child protection principles.

**Why Join Yaffle Care?**
- Be part of a growing company where your input and ideas are valued.
- Genuine opportunities for career progression as our company expands.
- Ongoing training and development to help you thrive in your role.
- A supportive work environment with a focus on staff well-being.
