• Understanding and commitment to the role - including some weekends and bank holidays
• Undertake sleep-in duties as part of a flexible rota
• Participating in activities and ensuring we provide young people with a place they feel at home
• Be capable of working on your own initiative
• Have good inter-personal skills and be a positive team player
