Are you passionate about helping vulnerable young people thrive and flourish?
Do you have the skills to engage with young people and support them to reach their maximum potential?
The Good Shepherd Centre (GSC) campus just outside Bishopton offers young people a safe, nurturing, and caring environment set in fabulous grounds with a garden wildlife trail and outdoor sports facility. On-campus there are three secure care houses, a close support house & a semi-independent living cottage. Young people who live with us continue their education in our school, on campus, or attend further education out with the campus.
The Senior Night Residential Care Worker is a key position, occupying a role critical to the overall welfare of young people in the GSC. The roleholder will promote and uphold the vision and values of the GSC as a place of care, safety, and learning. The roleholder will also deputise for the nightshift coordinator when necessary.
Our purpose is to provide a positive, life changing experience for young people through individual care, education and skills development focused on promoting young people’s mental and emotional wellbeing and longer-term positive outcomes. Through ensuring that the work is in keeping with legislative, procedural, and good practice requirements and guidance, the overall focus of the role is to build trusting relationships with young people within a nurturing, stimulating and safe environment. You will work as part of a team to support young people to meet their needs, achieve their goals and build hope for their future.
The successful candidates will have experience of supporting vulnerable young people, are committed to Children’s Rights and have, or be willing to achieve, a Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Social Care and the Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) in Caring for Children and Young People at Level 3 or above, or equivalent qualifications recognised by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).
