• Have experience working with children, in care, education, health, or youth services
• Hold (or are working towards) a Level 3/4 in Residential Childcare
• Understand trauma-informed care and safeguarding
• Are great communicators, team players, and committed to creating brighter futures

Key Responsibilities:

• Supporting children in all aspects of daily life
• Helping develop life skills, confidence, and independence
• Creating a warm, safe, and structured home environment
• Working in partnership with professionals and families
• Participating in a rota, including occasional sleep-ins
