Pros
Industry leading induction training course. Ongoing professional development courses. Support to achieve required SVQ qualification. Fully funded PVG and DBS checks and SSSC registration. Shift rotation of three days on and six off gives a good work / life balance for staff, (managers work Mon to Fri) Ability to work with some compassionate, commited, dedicated and amazing people to provide the best possible outcomes for young people. Staff support through regular supervision. Career progression.
Cons
Professional care work with young people, some of whom have experienced massive amounts of neglect trauma, CSE and CCE is often misunderstood. The work can, and at times, will be both physically and mentally demanding and involve very long hours on shift. This is not a job for the faint hearted, (this is explained to applicants at interview stage).
