  • Offering support in the educational pursuits of young individuals
  • Maintaining accurate records and preparing written reports for planning meetings, reviews or any other meetings as directed by the line manager.
  • Empowering young people to actively participate in decision-making about their lives and future
  • Acting as an advocate in meetings where the young person is the subject of discussion
  • Encouraging community engagement, attending off-site activities, and expanding their personal social networks
  • Meeting the needs of children and young people, organising social activities and maintaining the home (laundry, cooking, cleaning shopping etc.)

Qualifications/Experience/Requirements:

  • Minimum age requirement: 21 years old
  • Full UK driving license preferable but not essential
  • No prior experience necessary, only a commitment and passion for working with young people
  • Must have availability for sleep-in shifts

Benefits:

  • £30 additional payment per sleep-in shift
  • Enhanced DBS covered
  • Comprehensive induction and training provided
  • 2-3 shifts per week for an excellent work/life balance
  • Rota provided 4 weeks in advance

If you are enthusiastic about making a difference in the lives of young people, we invite you to join our dedicated team. Apply now and embark on a fulfilling career journey with us!

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All successful candidates will be required to undergo a thorough background check.
