About the Role
We are recruiting experienced Ad Hoc Support Workers to support children aged 5 17 within residential children homes and 1618 year olds within semi-independent services. This is ad hoc work only, covering sickness, annual leaveand emergency/crisis situations.
The young people supported present with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD) and often have complex needs, including:
* Mental health challenges
* Self-harm behaviours
* Substance misuse
* Learning disabilities
* History of offending
