Short Breaks Residential Practitioner - Rotherham, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom - Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council
Description
Temporary for 12 months, Full time, 37 hours per week.
Our recent successful application for further DfE funding ensures that the innovation project will not only endure but expand over the next year, as such, we are looking to employ a Residential Practitioner to join this growing team. This extension allows for the project to grow and amplifies the potential impact of our work.
Furthermore, as we transition beyond the tenure of the innovation project, our strategic intention is to seamlessly incorporate the knowledge, experience, and personnel gained into the fabric of our residential and short break service offerings. This strategic alignment underscores our unwavering commitment to nurturing a dynamic and harmonious service environment.
Are you enthusiastic about reshaping community-based short breaks for Rotherham's children? If so, this opportunity may be precisely what you're seeking.
As part of our Short Breaks Innovation Fund initiative, we are recruiting Children's Residential/Short Breaks Practitioners to provide comprehensive services within our in-house facilities and the broader Rotherham community. The primary focus is to address the unique needs of children under the care of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council while maintaining their connection to their communities, families, and schools.
This initiative aligns with Rotherham Council's strategic vision to enhance children's residential services and accommodate more youth within the Rotherham vicinity. It is seamlessly integrated into Rotherham's existing short breaks service, aiming to provide specialised care to our most complex children.
We are actively searching for candidates who not only possess experience in short break settings and expertise in working with complex needs and disabilities but additionally demonstrate an unwavering resilience that will be indispensable in this role. Transferable skills are also highly valued.
