'BE THE DIFFERENCE'
Secure Care Officers are key to the running of the facility and we are looking for people who can fit naturally into this role.
There is no such thing as a 'typical' Officer and we encourage applications from individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds with different life skills who can demonstrate the integrity, resilience and strong communications skills needed to thrive in this role.
We now have Full Time vacancies with a set shift pattern so you can find the right \"work life balance\" you have been looking for.
Day to day, you will help to create a safe, secure environment for children aged between 12 to 18 years who have been remanded or sentenced to periods of detention through the Youth Justice system. In return, you will receive a secure job so you can plan for the future and a rewarding career, as well as great training, excellent benefits and the chance to change young lives for the better.
Working directly with the children on a daily basis in a secure prison type environment, your responsibilities will include:
Motivate, support and care for children to provide a stable and secure educational and residential environment which promotes anti-offending behaviour to develop life skills, manage their own behaviour and enhance their effective resettlement on releaseBuilding mutual trust and respect with the children so that they respond positively and appropriately to information and guidanceDefining structures and boundaries, and role-modelling positive behaviours, to set clear expectations of the children in our careMonitoring and managing the behaviour of the children to minimise incidents and improve standards of behaviour The children in your care will have a variety of different needs and it will be your role to ensure those individuals are treated with dignity and respect, whilst having the ability to set boundaries, maintain a consistently mature approach and manage the behaviours of children in our care with professional authority. This is an environment that calls for high standards of social care and service delivery to provide a secure and stable environment for children to develop their life skills, address the behaviours that have led them into custody and effectively re-integrate them into mainstream society on release to enable them to make better choices and therefore have positive and more productive future life chances.
It is imperative that you consider yourself to be effective and resilient under pressure and ready to manage the ever changing dynamic of working with young people, many of whom have a history of unpredictable behaviour. This can, at times feel challenging to manage, and whilst we pride ourselves on team work and support, it is important to acknowledge that this can be a high pressured environment.
Safeguarding children is our primary focus and the welfare of the child is paramount.
