This is an exciting and important moment for us - welcome to SuperCare’s first EBD/SEMH home. Here, the young people you’ll support are vulnerable, complex, and resilient. Both are at risk of going missing, often talking together about leaving the home or speaking with strangers online. They sometimes self-harm and need patient, consistent support to stay safe. They’ll share openly about their past - including difficult experiences like abuse, drugs, or trauma - and they rely on staff to listen with care and without judgement. They also need encouragement with everyday tasks like eating, getting out of bed, joining activities, cleaning their rooms, and washing their clothes. As a Day Coach, you’ll be the steady, caring presence who helps them build structure, feel safe, and experience positive routines.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for resilient, understanding people who can stay calm and compassionate even in challenging situations:

• Experience with self-harm, missing-from-home risks, or exploitation (CSE, CCS).
• Training or willingness to train in ligature awareness, safeguarding, and mental health first aid.
• Ability to listen and talk openly about difficult subjects such as trauma or substance misuse.
• Physically fit to support young people if they go missing or become unsafe.
• A sense of humour and a caring, relatable approach to building trust.
• Must hold a full UK driving licence to travel from this remote location and support activities.

As a Day Coach, you’ll be in the middle of their daily lives, helping them feel grounded and safe:

• Support two young people who are at risk of going missing and may self-harm.
• Encourage healthy routines such as waking up, eating, and participating in activities.
• Listen and engage with young people when they talk about their past, including unsettling topics.
• Provide guidance around risks such as drugs, alcohol, and online safety.
• Support daily living skills such as cleaning rooms and washing clothes.
• Respond to incidents using safeguarding, missing-from-home, and self-harm procedures.
• Drive young people to activities and appointments (full UK licence required).
