Job introduction

 

About the role

Are you resilient, self-motivated and organised? If you answered ‘yes’ then you might be suited to being a Team Leader at Lansdowne.

Lansdowne is a secure children’s home run by East Sussex which houses some of the most vulnerable young people aged between 10 to 17 from across the UK. We’re looking for up to three Team Leaders to spearhead our Residential Support Workers at our Secure Children’s home.

With a fantastic skilled team, plus a state-of-the-art nurturing environment the residents at Lansdowne are offered all-round support. Each young person has a bespoke care plan to ensure support and agreed areas of work to meet their education and health needs.

In this role you’ll be a visible leader who brings a presence to the home, planning residential support worker’s shifts, leading shifts on a day to day basis, ensuring that the children are kept engaged and that their emotional and physical wellbeing is being cared for. This is a challenging role as it involves you taking the lead in a constructive and proactive way to address the problematic behaviour presented by the children, so requires resilience and self-awareness.

Due to the unique nature of this role, you’ll also ideally have experience working with challenging young people, understanding their complex needs and behaviours.
