Cambian employees are friendly, supportive and all focused on achieving the best outcomes for everyone involved with our service. We are looking for Senior Team Leaders to be a part of our *New Opening* to build a stable and welcoming environment where our young people are central to everything we do.
As the new Senior Team Leader, you will be emotionally strong and driven to make a difference day to day. Most importantly, you will get to really understand our children and their backgrounds, making sure that their needs are at the centre of everything we do. You will be approachable and detail focused, ensuring that our children’s safety is assured at all times, and that all protocols and regulations are fully adhered to.
Do you have what it takes to encourage and help our children to live independently and guide and teach them with your own life experiences? To do this we believe you will need empathy, compassion, resilience and positive parenting skills.
The working day can be very unpredictable and you could find yourself spending the entire morning organising activities and the afternoon providing 1:1 support. No two days are the same. The right type of person needs to be flexible, adaptable and to be able to read situations and help our young people make positive choices.
We are looking for enthusiastic, energetic, flexible and caring people to join our team across the Warrington, Runcorn region to continue improving the lives of the young people within our care.
As a Senior Team Leader, you will be involved in all aspects of their everyday lives and the positive impact you will have is immeasurable.
