You’ll enhance our training and development function throughout your work, as you help to develop the relevant policies and procedures, and to implement exciting new initiatives. Dealing with a wide range of queries and offering expert advice, you’ll aim to continually improve your own performance and that of the Training Department as a whole.
Qualified to NVQ level or above in Children and Young People’s Care, you’ll have previously worked as a child care/residential/support or social worker with young people aged 12-17. Highly flexible and organised, you’ll be able to plan your work, set goals, and motivate yourself and others to meet them. It’s also important that you thrive under pressure and have a flair for solving problems creatively.
While a training background would be preferred, it’s not essential – if you’re willing and able to develop your skills in this area, and have the other abilities we’re looking for, you’ve got everything you need to excel. The role involves some travelling, so you must have a clean current driving licence and access to a car.
