Description

The job itself:

Are you a compassionate, caring team player who is committed to making a difference? If so, we want to hear from you.

We are seeking a enthusiastic and dedicated individuals to become part of our teams within our Children's Homes. You must be reliable, energetic, of good character and have experience of working with this age group.

We are on an exciting journey within residential child care and need enthusiastic staff to join us in our development of new homes

Our Model

'You can, I can, We can'

We have created a bespoke practice model that reflects and connects our vision, our value base and our behaviour as one East Riding of Yorkshire approach to working with children, young people and their families, which is nurtured and grown from within East Riding of Yorkshire CYPSSS and owned by our workforce.

We remain committed to Signs of Safety as a practice framework, but this will be set within a much wider, values based, model of practice that clearly connects Signs of Safety much more clearly with the East Riding value base, and our overall approach to making and sustaining relationships with children, families and communities.

Without a well embedded model, there is nothing to centre our practice on to ensure that, while the work may be different, all of our teams are grounded in the same values, beliefs, theories and approaches.

Having a well-developed practice model helps to create a common language for the service and enables everyone to understand how we go about doing the right things, in the right way and for the right reasons for children and their families.

We are looking for an energetic, creative and experienced practitioner who can demonstrate tenacity and enthusiasm in making a positive difference to the lives of children and young people.

You will have a well-developed knowledge of Signs of Safety and have an
in depth understanding and experience of working with children, young people and their networks, as well as a demonstrable commitment to the values of family involvement, relational approaches and empowerment.

You will have excellent written and oral communication skills, be able to demonstrate a high level of motivation and have the ability to work independently, with skills in working within timescales and with conflicting priorities.

We offer a range of benefits including:
