* Establishing and maintaining positive and trusting relationships with our young people
* Encouraging the development of the individual interests of our young people
* A desire to learn, we provide full training for you to achieve an Apprenticeship Level 4 diploma.
What do we need from you?
* Experience of supporting young people who may be vulnerable is desired but not essential
* Understanding and commitment to the role - including some weekends and bank holidays
* Undertake sleep-in duties as part of a flexible rota
* Participating in activities and ensuring we provide young people with a place they feel at home
* Be capable of working on your own initiative
* Have good inter-personal skills and be a positive team player
