Vulnerable children in the UK need your help

Wherever you work in the Action for Children family, you'll be helping to change the lives of the most vulnerable children in the UK.

Last year, we helped more than 670,000 children and families across the UK. From direct work in communities to national campaigning, we are focused on making sure every child has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive.

About the service

This 4 bedded service is for two young people initially, who have emotional and behavioural difficulties, complex needs and have experienced extensive trauma in their lives. By creating a nurturing, attachment-based environment, you can ensure they get the right support to foster their development.

At the same time, we will provide specialist learning, training and Supervision to speed your professional development – alongside a competitive rewards package.

We recognise that the young people we will be caring for can communicate behaviours which cause risk to themselves and staff. In these instances, staff will be trained through the Team Teach model to physically intervene.

A bit about the role

The young people's care will involve professional practice that is sensitive to their trauma history. Our model will provide an environment where they will receive positive experiences of reliable, consistent parenting through providing specific and structured care, with very clear consistent boundaries.

We are now seeking an Assistant Residential Worker to help us maintain the high standards of care and personal development our young people have come to expect. You'll do this by instilling your compassion and ambition in everything you do, always with our young people front of mind.

How you'll help to create brighter futures

• Working therapeutically to support our young people through early life trauma.
• Working towards identified outcomes and goals to give them a positive future
• Helping them in all aspects of their daily lives (including personal care) and supporting their health and happiness, helping them to work towards identified outcomes and goals
• Helping to promote independence
• Maintaining safeguarding practices within the service

Let's talk about you

• Experience in a trauma informed setting, residential short breaks or children's services
• Experience of clear, concise record keeping via IT systems
• Understanding of GDPR, Safeguarding and relevant policies
• A clean driving license with access to a car with business insurance is essential
