• Maintain clear, legible records, distinguishing fact, opinion, and third-party information.

Essential skills:

• Experience working with teenage boys or challenging behavior; willingness to develop skills further.
• Hold a driving license and have access to a vehicle; public transport may not be viable due to rural location.

• Willingness to engage young people in activities and support their journey towards independence and adulthood.
