Location -Supporting our homes in Lymington, Andover, Fareham and Romsey

Hours -15 hours per week with opportunity to increase to 20 hours

Shift Pattern -Flexible to the needs of young people supported - may include some weekend/evening hours

Rate of Pay -£21.34 per hour

Background

Children supported by the service may present with a history of trauma and adversity, experiences of disrupted attachment, developmental delays, educational and learning challenges, emotional distress, health and well-being needs, and behaviours that reflect unmet needs or difficulty with regulation. The post holder will bring a trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate and relational approach to understanding and responding to these challenges.

The Role

This role will focus on promoting and supporting physical health, emotional well-being, identity development and daily living skills, ensuring that children's health needs are understood, advocated for and embedded into care planning and day to day practice.
