• A genuine passion for working with children and young people.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Flexibility to work within a rota that includes weekends and unsocial hours.
• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
• Previous experience working with young people or transferable skills in dealing with complex behaviours is desirable.

What's in it for You?

• Join a dedicated, passionate team making a real difference in children's lives.
• Opportunities for professional development and career progression.
• A supportive, collaborative working environment.
• Competitive salary and benefits, including up to 33 days annual leave (excluding public holidays), plus the option to join the South Yorkshire Pension Authority.

Apply today to make a positive impact on the future of children and young people in Doncaster!
