The Greenleaf Team

We’re looking for people to join our team who share our beliefs. We want team members who'll never give up on our young people, who are compassionate and who believe that our young people deserve the best we can give them.

We specialise in solo placements for young people in care up to the age of 21 and adopt a therapeutic, trauma-informed approach to care. In our work, we uphold Greenleaf’s values of Integrity, Compassion, Excellence, Collaboration, and Respect.

If it’s your ambition to create a future filled with hope and optimism for our young people, we would love to hear from you.

Role Overview

You will be part of a unique team who will work together to facilitate excellent practice and shape the development of our Service.

Note: This role involves completing 14-hour shifts followed by a 10-hour sleepover. This would be a 2 day on, 3 day off shift pattern.

We look after children and young people from a variety of backgrounds, who have experienced trauma or adverse life experiences and need specialist therapeutic support in a small residential setting. To succeed in this role, you will be compassionate, patient, nurturing, and therapeutic in your approach to care.

The young people in our homes are with us 24/7 and deserve a safe and caring environment where they can grow and achieve positive outcomes.

This role is being advertised on a full-time basis, for different hours inquire via email at [email protected]

Greenleaf Benefits

With greater expectations come greater rewards. If you’re selected to become part of the Greenleaf family, you’ll not only enjoy a salary that’s higher that the sector average, but you’ll also enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including:

29 days holiday entitlement, increasing with every two years of service
Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) with a 24/7 wellbeing line and free counselling
Company-funded qualifications and support from an internal assessor – we can deliver SVQ 3 and 4 and HNC in social services
Health Cash Plan, which includes dental and optical cover, physio therapies, and a 24/7 GP helpline.
Greenleaf For You platform which offers a range of savings including discounts, offers, and money back on vouchers
Progression pathways and opportunities to develop and progress in your career
Pension scheme with Nest Pensions
Complementary meals while on shift
Casual dress code

The ideal candidate will:

Possess previous experience of working in a residential children’s home.
Possess an SVQ 3 and HNC in social care or equivalent.
Demonstrate excellent communication and teamwork skills.
Understand safeguarding and child protection.
Have the ability to work shifts, including weekends, sleepovers, and long hours.
Possess a full UK manual driving license and be a confident driver.
Understand the behaviours displayed by children and young people and be skilled in a range of intervention strategies.
Be aware of relevant legislation.
Be trained in or willing to complete training in crisis and physical intervention.

Specific Duties and Responsibilities

Provide care and support to our children and young people in accordance with policies and procedures and possess a mindful teamwork approach to therapeutic childcare practice.

Promote young people’s participation, structure, boundaries and routine.
Comply with the code of conduct as required by the SSSC.
Be fully aware of safeguarding and child protection issues and confident in the reporting process.
Contribute to the maintenance of a safe, hygienic and clean environment.

The nature of residential work is varied and, in many instances, unpredictable. All staff are therefore expected to work in a flexible way and tasks that have not been covered in the job description have to be undertaken.

Practitioners are expected to conduct themselves professionally and adhere to Greenleaf Policies and Procedures. They must successfully complete induction and ongoing training.

The Company reserves the right to vary duties and responsibilities at any time.
