Do you have experience caring for children? Have you ever thought about working with children in care? If you are looking for a role where you have a direct positive impact on a child where no day is ever the same, this could be your perfect next job!
Working in our beautiful home on the outskirts of Nottingham city centre, you will support the children with everything they might need connected to their personal care and to the home they live in. From cooking and cleaning in the home, driving the children to school and helping with homework, through to management of medication and attending health appointments with them – you will be there for them 24/7.
Working as part of a team, you will work collaboratively to ensure care plans are updated, risk assessments completed, and thorough handovers completed to ensure the care of the child remains consistent. You will also work closely to plan events, activities, and holidays! If you are planning for a birthday, a day out, or a key-work session, we want you to work to the specific needs of the child and explore what they will find interesting, engaging, and empowering.
At times, our children can become dysregulated and we will give you all the training and support to learn de-escalation and behaviour management techniques such as Team Teach so that you have all the tools required to support the children. We will also support you to undertake your level 4 diploma in Children and Young People’s Workforce if required and also put you through our in-house Therapeutic training provided by our Clinical Team. As part of our mandatory training, you will be given training in safeguarding, first aid, food hygiene, GDPR, and health & safety amongst a few to ensure you have the solid grounding to start your career with us.
Our Management Teams are there to support you in the good and bad times; whether in a de-brief after a shift or as part of a routine supervision, time to talk, reflect, and review is a huge part of our service and support for our staff.
In addition to your salary, you will also earn £80 per sleep in which could total an extra £4,800 based on 5 sleeps per month. We will support you to achieve your level 4 diploma in Residential Childcare and also map out career development for you to achieve your goals whether you wish to become a Registered Manager of the future or specialise in a particular area.
This is a highly rewarding role where you could play a fundamental role in the life of a child in care - if you share our belief that every child should have a chance to discover who they are and what they can become, we look forward to hearing from you!
