Secure Residential Support Worker (Swanwick Lodge)

We have an opportunity for you to join our dedicated team as aSecure Residential Support Worker.
You will work as part of a diverse and supportive team of professional carers to provide a highly structured, stimulating and caring environment for young people who may display extreme behaviour and high levels of distress, and who may have great difficulty forming and maintaining relationships.
Your focus will be to act as a 'therapeutic parent' and role-model to the young people by forming positive, trusting relationships that enable them to feel safe and cared for. This requires you to have a great deal of patience, empathy and understanding, and the ability to be consistent, kind and respectful, even in the face of extremely challenging behaviour.
Experience of working with children, young people or adults within a residential, secure or similar setting is advantageous but not essential. You will be provided with training as well as regular ongoing training and support to develop both personal and professional skills.
