About You:

We are looking for care team members who have a demonstrated passion for helping children and young people heal and grow through understanding and support. You should have experience in offering support to individuals with disabilities and complex support needs, helping them lead fulfilling lives and promoting their independence.

You'll understand the importance of trauma-informed care, consistency, and stability in the lives of children and young people, adapting responses and utilising a broad range of support strategies. Be committed to meticulous documentation and reporting with a deep commitment to the safeguarding of vulnerable children and young people.
