You will actively contribute to care plans, share in report writing and monitoring and participate in housekeeping duties. You will also work directly with families, social workers and other relevant people where appropriate.

You will be expected to work in line with UCS’ policies and procedures, and The Children’s Homes Regulations and maintain high professional standards at all times.
