ABOUT THE HOME
Our new Spalding service will be a small two-bed children’s residential home supporting young people with EBD, SEMH, trauma and complex needs.
Our approach is therapeutic, trauma-informed and relationship-based.
We focus on:
· Positive Behaviour Support
· PACE
· Trauma-informed practice
· Building safe and trusting relationships
· Consistency and clear boundaries
· Helping young people develop confidence and independence
Most importantly, we want the home to feel like exactly that: a home.
WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?
· As a Residential Support Worker, you’ll be part of the young person’s everyday life.
· That means helping with the ordinary things as well as the difficult ones.
· Your role will include:
· Building positive and trusting relationships with young people
· Supporting daily routines and structure
· Helping with education, appointments and activities
· Supporting young people to develop life skills and independence
· Providing emotional support during difficult moments
· Helping young people regulate their emotions
· Promoting positive behaviour and healthy choices
· Supporting safeguarding and following care plans
· Completing clear and accurate records
· Working closely with your colleagues and the Registered Manager
· Helping create a safe, welcoming and homely environment
· Some days will be challenging.
· Some days will be brilliant.
· But every day, you’ll have the opportunity to make a difference.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We’re looking for people with the right attitude.
You’ll need to be:
· Caring and compassionate
· Calm under pressure
· Reliable and consistent
· Confident setting appropriate boundaries
· A good communicator
· Resilient
· Positive and energetic
· Able to work well as part of a small team
· Passionate about supporting young people
· A full UK driving licence holder
· Previous experience in children’s residential care is desirable, but attitude, values and the ability to build strong relationships are just as important.
