Liaise with social workers, Independent Reviewing Officers, schools, CAMHS, healthcare professionals, families, and local authorities.
Attend and contribute to placement planning meetings, looked-after child reviews, strategy meetings, and multi-agency meetings.
Support children with emotional wellbeing, identity, education, independence skills, and family contact where appropriate.
Monitor progress against agreed outcomes and provide clear written updates and reports.
Maintain accurate records in line with safeguarding, Ofsted, and organisational requirements.
Support the home in maintaining high standards of safeguarding, care planning, and regulatory compliance.
Participate in supervision, team meetings, training, and reflective practice.

Skills and Experience

Experience working with children and young people in care, residential care, safeguarding, fostering, leaving care, or child protection.
Strong understanding of safeguarding, looked-after children processes, trauma-informed practice, and multi-agency working.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage children, families, professionals, and local authorities.
Ability to write clear reports, maintain accurate records, and contribute to care planning.
Calm, professional, and resilient approach when managing challenging or sensitive situations.
Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities.
Compassionate, child-centred approach with a genuine commitment to improving outcomes for young people.
Ability to work effectively as part of a residential care team.

Desirable

Social Work qualification and registration with Social Work England.
Experience within children’s residential care, looked-after children, EBD, safeguarding, or local authority children’s services.
Knowledge of Ofsted regulations and the Children’s Homes Regulations 2015.
