Deputy Manager
Cromwell Home is a 4 bed EBD children's home providing high quality, therapeutic, trauma informed care to children and young people.
Cromwell's Home has a commitment in child protection - our service, the experience, determination and dedication of those persons within it have shown us that high quality therapeutic childcare helps children and young people learn to deal with their past experiences and prepare for the future. Our managers are key people within our service who must share this perspective and must lead this behaviour, practice and culture within our local teams.
Cromwell Home seeks to weave a golden thread of the child, person centred practices, approaches and a culture that values and promotes the voice of the child into every aspect of the organisation. Vulnerable children and young people who have experienced trauma through significant abuse deserve the very best help to realise their entitlement to be safe, valued, cared for to also have dreams and aspirations. we are committed to providing the quality of care that will accomplish this.
Challenging behaviours are often the result of significant abuse and negative earlier life experiences. They are possibly linked to learnt behaviours, survival, defence, anxiety and may have controlling aspects within the behavioural presentation. Behaviour is almost usually communicative in a way that shows the needs that can't be verbalised. The skill of the therapeutic practitioner is to stay present, calm, available and sooth the presenting behaviour by helping, wondering and being alongside young people.
All our children and young people are respected and treated with a positive regard-we support and help them build safe, positive and appropriate attachments and relationships with others. We should always be mindful to have a strength based approach focusing on positives and championing any achievement no matter how small.
An all-embracing therapeutic model meets the needs of each child in all aspects of their life. Skilled care supported by therapists, clinical psychologists, health and education professionals help us support our young people to deal with their past experiences and prepare for the future.
They are encouraged to become involved with local communities and learn how to make life choices that help them fulfil their potential. Cromwell's care services value inclusion and participation highly and strongly feel that developing a young person's social capital is an essential even fundamental aspect of their growth and development.
