About the role:
As a Break Support Worker you’ll be working hands-on day in day out with the young people living in the children’s home.
For some young people, the behaviors caused by the trauma they have previously experienced means it is too risky for them to live with others. Break’s intensive children’s homes offer these individuals - who often have nowhere else to go - a home.
You’ll work with a tight-knit team of colleagues to build a relationship and trust bond with the young person living at the home. You’ll be supporting them in overcoming their previous trauma and learning to trust in adults again, along with the help and guidance of your colleagues and Break’s therapeutic services.
You’ll be patient, thrive in a team environment, able to support those around you and have the emotional intelligence and resilience to manage challenging situations.
