Are you compassionate, patient, and dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of children with complex needs? Are you ready to provide essential support and guidance to help children thrive? If so, we have a rewarding opportunity for you.
This is a 4-bed mixed-gender children's home currently supporting three young people aged between 13 and 15 years old (1 girl and 2 boys). The young people are active and enjoy social activities, so we are seeking positive, engaging, and energetic individuals who can build meaningful relationships, encourage participation, and act as positive role models.
The young people may experience challenges relating to missing-from-home incidents, risks associated with criminal exploitation, emotional and mental health needs, and behaviours that can present as reserved or withdrawn. As a Residential Support Worker, you will play a key role in promoting safety, setting clear and consistent boundaries, building trust, and supporting young people to develop resilience, confidence, and independence through a trauma-informed approach.
Role Overview
As a Residential Support Worker, you will play a crucial role in the daily lives of Looked After Children, providing care, support, and guidance. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team to create individualised care plans and implement therapeutic interventions. Your patience, empathy, and strong communication skills will help you manage challenging behaviours and support the children's emotional and developmental needs.
