Motivate the young person through short, interest-led sessions (arts, crafts, animal care, outdoor skills) that build self-esteem, independence and positive risk-taking.

Warm, fun, non-judgemental communicator who can set non-demanding, measurable expectations and adapt minute-by-minute.
Sound knowledge of safeguarding and the ability to work collaboratively with families and external professionals.
Desirable:
Training in low-arousal practice, PDA, sensory-integration or eating-disorder support.
Experience guiding young people on a “pathway to adulthood” (independent living, employability, travel training).
Location:
