This is an excellent opportunity to work within a trauma-informed service where you'll have the chance to make a genuine difference to the lives of vulnerable young people.

About the Home

This service is a welcoming residential home caring for up to four children and young people. The home currently supports three young people, aged 15–16 years (two females and one male), providing a safe, stable, and nurturing environment where they can build confidence, develop life skills, and work towards positive futures.

Your responsibilities will include

• Leading shifts and supporting the staff team to deliver outstanding care.

• Providing therapeutic, trauma-informed support to children and young people with EBD.

• Building positive, trusting relationships with young people.

• Supporting behaviour management using positive and restorative approaches.

• Completing care planning, incident reports, and other administrative duties.

• Ensuring safeguarding and Ofsted standards are consistently met.

• Supporting, mentoring, and supervising Residential Support Workers.

• Working collaboratively with families, social workers, schools, and other professionals.

• Promoting independence, resilience, and positive outcomes for young people.

The role includes approximately 80% shift work and 20% dedicated administration time, with a rota that includes evenings and weekends.
