Job description

Our children's home in Sheldon, Birmingham, supports three young males who have emotional, developmental and/or behavioural difficulties. The staff team is culturally diverse and offers 1:1 support; providing structure and stability in an understanding, supportive and non-judgmental manner. Our young people are highly active and love spending time outdoors doing various activities, so the successful candidate will need to have the energy and initiative to get involved.

At Aspris, we want every young person to feel understood, supported, and ready to take on the world. That's why our homes are shaped around the needs of each child - this ensures that all of our young people get the support that's shaped around their strengths, challenges, and goals.

You will support our young people to build confidence, develop independence, and achieve positive outcomes, whether that's learning essential life skills, engaging in hobbies and activities, maintaining education attendance, or enjoying new experiences within their local community. No two days are the same, from supporting with daily routines and fun activities, to managing challenging situations and celebrating achievements.

At Aspris, learning never stops - and that’s something we truly value. As a growing organisation, we rely on accurate, detailed data, which can include sensitive information such as incident reports and disclosures from young people. High attention to detail is essential to the role.

To support you, we offer continuous CPD and development opportunities, helping you grow and become the best version of yourself.
