Madiba is now an established provider of complex care in Yorkshire and we really mean business when it comes to changing lives and strives to change the way Children are looked after. We focus on children with complex needs, learning disabilities, communication difficulties and or neurodevelopment disabilities. Therefore a high level of patience, resilience and creativity is essential. We are looking for people who have some understanding of what drives behaviours and have a mindset that behaviour can be changed. The age range of children that we support are between 7-18 year. The homes take long term placements, to allow the home to achieve long term outcomes. We aim to deliver and achieve an outstanding service for children to thrive, and therefore we need committed, compassionate and caring individuals.

We use positive behaviour support approaches to understand the form and functions of behaviours and reduce behaviours that challenges. Positive behaviour support experience would be advantageous but is not essential as full training will be given.

As a provider we will provide a safe, secure and high staffing ratio to ensure that the staff and young people are kept safe and deliver outstanding care. There are other provisions in the pipeline and look at developing staff in to more senior roles within. This means there is so much opportunity for career development and to grow with the company.
