  2. Good judgement in working with children and young people
  3. Reliability and consistency
  4. Ability to stay calm in challenging situations
  5. Willingness to learn and develop
  6. Strong teamwork and communication

What you can expect from us

  • Support from experienced managers and regular supervision
  • Training shaped around the children and young people we support
  • Opportunities to gain relevant qualifications and develop your practice
  • Clear progression into senior and leadership roles
  • A team that takes safeguarding, consistency and professional standards seriously
  • The opportunity to work in a growing organisation where good people can take on more responsibility over time
