Doors are opening in Rochdale. Come join us on our journey!
Do you have what it takes to become an exceptional part of a Children’s Residential Service that wants to make a real difference to the lives and outcomes of the children and young people that we care for?
Rochdale Borough Council is going through a programme of transformation, so there couldn’t be a better or more exciting time to join our team, and be a part of our exciting journey.
As a part of this transformation, we are expanding our Children’s Residential Service and opening up two new homes for children and young people aged from 8-17, with social and emotional needs and difficulties.
We ask that you have a positive attitude and outlook and have the ability to be both flexible and adaptable to meet the needs and difficulties of the children and young people we are caring for.
Our children and young people in all our homes need care, love, nurture and guidance to help them on the route they take in life, and to help them to work through the difficulties they may have experienced or are currently experiencing.
The children need committed and dependable individuals who will go above and beyond to safeguard them, and promote their emotional health and wellbeing.
There are real opportunities for your personal and professional development and our training offer in Rochdale is second to none, including completing the Therapeutic Parenting with PACE training programme, which is the foundation of our ‘Model of Care’.
You must be over 21 years of age and have at least 1 year’s experience working with Children and Young People. It is preferable that you are qualified to NVQ/Diploma Level 3 Working with Children and Young People or equivalent, but don’t worry if you don’t, as we will support you to obtain this qualification as part of your ongoing training and development.
The Rochdale Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects staff to share this commitment.
Casual User Car Allowance is payable.
