  • Strong teamwork and communication skills

Desirable:

  • Level 3 or 4 Diploma in Children & Young People (or willingness to work towards this)

What You'll Bring

  • A commitment to safeguarding and high-quality care
  • The ability to motivate and inspire young people
  • Flexibility to work shifts, including evenings and weekends
  • A positive attitude and willingness to learn and develop
