ABOUT HARMONY RESIDENTIAL CARE
Harmony Residential Care is based in the Midlands. We have five
residential care centres which include preparation for leaving care
(**Apply on the website** ? **Apply on the website**-year-olds) ,
single occupancy (**Apply on the website** ? **Apply on the
website**-year-olds) and multi-occupancy placements (**Apply on the
website**- to **Apply on the website**-year-olds). We provide care and
support to young people in our community-based houses to promote their
safety and welfare and to meet their individual needs as per their
individual care plans. Day to day interventions include keyworking,
activities, family access, peer access, life skills, education and
ensuring that all of our young people have a positive lived experience
while living in our care.
Harmony Residential Care utilise a model of care underpinned and
informed by Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) (Beck, **Apply on the
website**). CBT is an evidence based therapeutic approach that focuses
on total behaviour. CBT teaches the recognition of the reciprocal
systems between thinking (cognitions), doing (behaviours), feelings
(emotions) and the body (physiology). We utilise our own clinical team
to support teams in planning for the young people?s needs/goals and
responding effectively in times of crisis. Our clinical team consists
of a Director of Psychology and a Applied Behavioural Analyst who work
in partnership to support positive change for the young people in our
care.
We have five amazing teams who are committed, motivated, creative,
supportive and focused on supporting our young people to achieve their
goals and meet their individual needs. We are seeking candidates who
will fit in with the current teams and also contribute their skills
and experiences to achieve our mission statement:
_to provide whatever supports are required to assist individuals in
reaching their potential and becoming integrated into their
community._
As an Organisation, we are committed to ensuring that our employees
have access to continuous professional development opportunities, that
they practice and ensure high levels of self-care, have access to
training, have access to specialist support should they require this.
