  • Overseeing and reviewing support plans for young people and care leavers
  • Ensuring high standards of care and safeguarding for all young people
  • Deputising for the Service Manager when required
  • Working closely with external professionals to achieve positive outcomes for young people
  • Participating in the on-call rota (additional pay applied)

Requirements

  • Experience supporting young people, particularly care leavers, in a group living or supported accommodation setting
  • Confidence managing behaviours that challenge
  • Strong leadership skills and a proactive, solution-focused approach
  • Passion for improving outcomes for young people and care leavers
