A fantastic opportunity to join a quality driven Childrens Home provider in Kirklees that values providing a good & safe home for your young people above all else.
You will be working on a rolling rota, with a stable team, within one of our 3 homes in HD3, to meet the varied needs of our children, aged 8-14 with Emotional / Social Behavioural Difficulties, alongside promoting their independence, responsibility taking and enabling further positive progression within society and themselves and most importantly having fun and doing enjoyable activities with the children.
You must be able to work professionally and in partnership with parents, other professionals and your colleagues, and have the skills needed to communicate well with children and young people in residential care in a way that they can understand.
This role will involve working a 3-week rolling shift pattern with your team, 8am to 10.30pm on the following pattern:
1. Wk1: Monday, Wednesday & Saturday
2. Wk2: Tuesday, Friday & Sunday
3. Wk3: Thursday
This particular role does not include sleep in, though this may be required from time to time in a planned way.
NVQ / Diploma Level 3 Health & Social Care (Child based) qualification or equivalent is desirable; any candidates without the qualification would be required to undertake this personal development once in post.
Harmony offers very competitive salary packages, with favourable working patterns, free meals during working days, secure on-site parking and a fun, friendly environment with a solid consistent staff team. You will know that you are making a positive difference to each young person's lives.
A full driving licence is essential for the role to be able to provide the high quality of care we do. Non-drivers should not apply; you will not be shortlisted. All our homes have access to at least 2 company cars for children; there is no expectation that you will need to use your own, like with other companies.
