• Promoting a safe, inclusive and supportive living environment.

We would love to hear from you if you:

• Can build trust and maintain professional boundaries.
• Have experience supporting individuals who may have experienced trauma, adversity, or instability, and can remain calm and effective when responding to periods of heightened distress or conflict.
• Have strong partnership-working and advocacy skills.
• Can demonstrate resilience, perseverance, and a solution-focused approach.
• Hold, or are willing to work towards, an NVQ Level 3 in Children and Young People.
