Our client is a new service based in Nottingham and has a 1-bed service that currently supports a young person aged 14 with highly complex and high-risk needs and operates within a therapeutic, structured and boundary-led model.

Candidates need to be comfortable supporting a young person in crisis and working within a highly consistent team approach, including deprivation-of-liberty arrangements where applicable.
- Therapeutic parenting.
- Trauma-informed and relationship-based practice.
- Clear and consistent boundaries.
- Long-term relationship building.
- Calm and structured responses to challenging situations.
