Job Description

Are you a resilient Support Worker who thrives when the stakes are high? Do you have the clinical 'gut instinct' and the emotional intelligence to support young people in crisis? At Randstad, we are building elite, specialist teams to support the most vulnerable children in our community. These are not 'standard' shifts, these are opportunities to provide high level, trauma informed care that creates genuine breakthroughs for young people facing significant challenges.

Job Responsibility

  • Crisis Management: Confidently de-escalating heightened behaviours using proven techniques (PMVA)
  • Trauma-Informed Care: Understanding the 'why' behind behaviours to build trust and security
  • Holistic Support: Managing appointments, family contact, and structured daily activities
  • Clinical Reporting: Delivering high-quality incident reports and insights that shape future care plans

Requirements

  • Minimum 6 months of paid UK experience in a residential or crisis setting
  • Proven ability to de-escalate aggression, self-harm, or destructive behaviours with a calm, non-judgemental approach
  • A firm grasp of professional boundaries and 'safe touch' protocols
  • PMVA Training is highly desirable (though we can provide training for the right candidates)
  • Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply for a new one)
  • Full UK Driving Licence with Business Insurance (Highly Preferred)

Nice to have

  • PMVA Training
