Social Pedagogy provides a theoretical and practical framework for understanding children’s upbringing. It has a particular focus on the holistic education (cognitive knowledge, emotional and spiritual learning and practical and physical skills) of children and young people through building strong relationships, providing opportunities for learning and enabling children to empower themselves. In a residential care setting it provides a particular emphasis on working with groups and using the group as a support in achieving positive outcomes for children and young people.

This post will advise, befriend and give practical assistance to children accommodated by the Council in a children’s residential home. It will also offer planned assessment and support to the achievement of planned outcomes and support the management team with the implementation of Social Pedagogy throughout Children’s Residential Services.

For this new and exciting post you will need substantial working/supervising or engaging with young people in a residential care setting, proven skills in pedagogy, and a Social Pedagogy degree.

Interviews are scheduled for mid September
