Service Support Practitioner - Stirling, United Kingdom - Crossreach

Description

Playing a game, eating lunch together, visiting a beach.

But in this job, theyre powerful tools:
for building trust, creating memories and improving young lives.

Because the children in our care have faced more challenges than most, and its our job to help them realise their potential and integrate back into their communities.

In our residential services, children live in small community houses and learn at our purpose-built school, all supported by caring professionals like you.

As a Support Practitioner, you will work with Children who have a wide range of support needs, providing them with practical and emotional support and encouraging them to achieve their own personal outcomes in all aspects of their daily lives e.g.

keeping safe, meaningful activities, community involvement, physical health, relationships, emotional health and wellbeing.

Youll play a vital role in assessing childrens needs and supporting the Lead Practitioners in implementing positive and robust care plans.

As part of a close-knit team, youll take a whole-child approachWhilst a qualification in social care and previous experience in a care or education role would be an advantage, what is just as important is that you have an emphatic approach with the ability to see beyond behaviour to the reasons why.

We can provide the rest of the training that you need and because we need to get our children out and about youll also need a driving licence

Because as you support the childrens future, well look after yours, with ongoing training and support for achieving additional qualifications.

Youll also receive a competitive salary, together with generous pension, health benefits and access to a range of leisure and retail discounts.
