We understand the impact of trauma on children and are passionate about helping these young people find their strengths and explore what they want to achieve with their lives. We believe in nurturing positive relationships and are wholly dedicated to never giving up on a child. About the role Below are some of the things you could say about your role on a day-to-day basis working in our Residential Care homes: \"It's the best job in the World\" \"The work life balance is brilliant\" \"I am at home more than I am at work - both families benefit\" \"'Thanks for running me a bath' - is what made me smile today - win/win\". If you really want to make a difference to a young person's life then read on......

Daily you will be liaising with a host of individuals and services, from our young person's family to schools and education authorities, social workers, police and a whole range of other internal and external contacts.

You will work with children and young people who display challenging behaviour due to early life trauma. No two days are the same in our Residential Service - on your working days you could be taking your young person horse riding, painting, for a drive, for a walk, out shopping, or attending virtual schools. You will support children to achieve and grow through positive experiences. \"You are there when I rise, when I eat, when I play, and you are there to put me to bed at the end of my day\".
