Reed Emergency Placement Support (EPS) Team are currently recruiting Support Workers within the Manchester (M11) area to provide support to a range of children and young people.

• Engage regularly with the young person.
• Willingness to participate in activities with the young person e.g. playing games.
• Ensure compliance with safeguarding policies and procedures.
