Resilience – We support some of the most vulnerable children in society who have varying degrees of emotional behavioural difficulties, autism, ADHD and associated difficulties so there will be times where your resilience is challenged.
Communication – Communicating with our young people is vital to understand their needs. Good teamwork and communication play a key part in ensuring important information is relayed to other staff.
Committed – will join a supportive and experienced team of dedicated support staff, committed to delivering the very best care.
Caring – Our young people require the best care we can offer. If you are a naturally caring and compassionate person, this is the role for you.
