Become a role model and make a difference to the lives of children in Hampshire! Do you enjoy working with children and want to help make a significant difference to their lives? This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a brand-new Children's Home in Romsey, Hampshire, that will be applying for Ofsted registration. Due to open early 2025, the home will comprise of three self-contained living areas and a communal space. Innovative in purpose and approach, Hockley House will meet the complex needs of an identified cohort of children and young people who have significant emotional, behavioural, and mental health needs which do not meet the criteria for treatment in hospital, or the threshold for secure accommodation, but require a high level of support. With a planned multi-agency intervention package, children will experience the skill and expertise of Children's Services residential and education staff, along with co-located Health Services who will work within a common framework of trauma informed therapeutic intervention. Creating this new local provision will enable the young people to maintain family contacts, with the goal of reuniting the child with their family or supporting their transition to independence. We are looking for caring, creative and passionate people with the ability to work creatively to develop positive outcomes for our children. The key function of this role is to work directly with children. It requires a child centred approach and ability to build warm, positive and strong relationships with our children. You will be a positive role model supporting children's goals and development. Once the home opens the role will involve waking night shift work including weekend and bank holiday shifts. Before this, you will work a combination of shifts and core office hours to support yours and the team's induction and preparations for opening.
