As a Senior Mentor you will be in a position that requires you to:

- Have a warm, empathic manner that makes each child and young person feel special and loved.

- Willing to give hugs but, recognise when giving space is needed more.

- Be a good listener and curious about what you can learn from young people.

- Understand and be resilient to the fact that young people you have a strong relationship with one week, may then refuse to talk to or insult you a day later. And helping to support other staff with this.

- Be able to have a lot of fun in the workplace but also be prepared to soothe and support the overwhelming emotions of both young people and staff teams. Because to show emotion is to be human!

- Ability to produce a ten-page personal plan with at least one interruption per page. Although you will likely have lots more!

- Be a positive mentor and role model for our young people and staff teams alike.

- A high level of multitasking is essential. You must be comfortable with cooking dinner whilst entertaining hungry teenagers at the same time. And believe us when we say H-ANGER is REAL!!

- Some knowledge about football, Xbox and Tiktok videos would be helpful but, diverse hobbies and interests are a distinct advantage.

- Ability to manage and provide firm boundaries to young people because they will push boundaries better than anyone and they are smarter than you think!

- Be creative and able to come up with solutions to help manage behaviours and guide less experienced staff in how to also be able to manage behaviours.

- Able to lead shifts with a confident and enthusiastic manner ensure our young people are cared for to the highest standards whilst then being able to ensure all necessary paperwork is completed before completing your shift.

- Enable effective supervisions that promote best practices within the home whilst providing a supportive approach for our staff teams.

- To contribute to and implement care plans, risk assessments, and action plans, participate in reviews and other meetings as required and ensure LAC documentation is up to date and changed when appropriate.

- Ability to plan and organise own workload and help others do the same to achieve improved outcomes for Young People.

- Ensures Staff work within the Homes policies, procedures, and Ofsted Quality Standard requirements.
So far it might sound like all fun and games and for a large part, it is essentially is! But you will also be required to do the boring bits which include the paperwork that comes with all looked after young people.

In order to be the best, we believe you must learn from the best and that is why we are dedicated to hiring the best people possible.
