Children, Young People and Families Practitioner Level 4 Apprentice, Action for Children

Niaill works as a therapeutic residential worker with Action for Children, having just completed his Level 4 Children, Young People and Families Practitioner apprenticeship early and is now looking to continue his learning through the Level 5 apprenticeship. Action for Children is a children’s charity in the UK; dedicated to supporting and safeguarding children and young individuals, striving to do everything in the interest of the children in their care. One of the ways they support young people is by offering nurturing environments in small residential homes, located in local communities.

As a therapeutic residential worker, Niaill’s role as a therapeutic residential worker is to ensure that tailored, trauma-informed support is provided for each child. This trauma-informed approach recognises and responds to the impact of trauma on the lives of young people, shaping every aspect of care. Focusing not only on the immediate needs of children in his care, but on creating an environment that empowers them to thrive and reach their full potential.
