practitioner who shares insider secrets for navigating the demands, opportunities,
frustrations and epiphanies of a career that has the power to change young lives.
Residential childcare is not just a job – something you clock in and out of and leave
behind at the door. It’s a vocation – a deeply human, emotional and demanding role
that asks those who choose it to show up, every single day, and give of themselves
for the sake of vulnerable young people who may never have known stability, trust
or unconditional care. Making that commitment is hard for anyone, but it is harder
still without a guide. An Essential Guide for Every Residential Childcare Worker aims
to be that guide. Written by an expert with more than twenty-five years’ experience
in a range of frontline roles, it is a practical, jargon-free handbook that interweaves
policy and core concepts with practical examples of daily practice. Paying tribute to
the resilience and dedication of residential childcare workers, and emphasizing their
profound role in shaping young lives, it explores the skills, principles and practices
that create safe, nurturing environments for children who have experienced trauma.
