What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint highly motivated, enthusiastic, reliable, and proactive individuals who have a strong commitment to ensuring all within their care are both safe and cared for. The successful candidate must be nurturing and supportive, with excellent communication skills and can form strong relationships with children and young people, team members, parents and carers, and key safeguarding partners.
- Are you a reliable, enthusiastic and highly driven individual with experience in working with vulnerable children and young people?
- Do you have the ability to build strong relationships with children and young people, and the resilience to handle challenging behavior effectively?
- Are you excited by the rewards and challenges of working with very special, complex young people?
We have exciting opportunities for therapeutic care givers to join our Residential Service at Boothroyd House. Our home will provide care for up to 4 boys aged between 7-18 who may have a range of complex needs in addition to impaired social or cognitive functioning due to early life trauma and attachment difficulties. By working in partnership with a supportive and experienced Registered manager, Deputy Manager, Clinical Lead, and other colleagues you will be responsible for helping create and maintain an environment where safe, consistent, creative, and enabling care for the children and young people (who can present with complex and challenging behavior) is the standard. Alongside our Safeguarding stakeholders in the wider community, your role through collaborative partnerships, will be to support yourself and the team to work within our Model of Care, promoting and facilitating positive outcomes.
