We are recruiting 6 Weekend Youth Support Workers to join our team to work in Children's Residential Care Homes.
We are in a unique position as we can take on individuals who may not necessarily have the relevant qualifications and experience, as we have a dedicated training department that can train and support individuals to succeed in this role. We believe that some of the best support workers are those with life experience who just need an opportunity to work within the care sector.
You will be working with young people aged 11 to 21 who have been placed into the care system for various reasons, with an array of disorders, behaviors, and needs. Therefore, we require individuals who have the confidence, understanding, patience, and skill set to successfully work with these young people and make a positive impact on their lives.
This position involves providing guidance, interaction, and support to children and young adults within residential, educational, or independent living settings with the intention of creating a safe environment that caters to a person's intellectual, spiritual, social, and emotional needs.
In this role, you will be part of a team to support the service users throughout the day with basic tasks such as meal preparation, social activities, family contacts, education, and shopping. Please note that this position does not require personal care.
We are looking for positive role models for the children and young people. We seek flexible, reliable, and interactive individuals who want to work within a specialist environment where full accredited training and qualifications are provided, including Team Teach, Child Protection, St John's Ambulance First Aid, Understanding Sexualised Behaviour, Working with Self Harm, Cyberbullying, and Understanding Autism and ADHD.
Please note that you will be required to complete an enhanced DBS check or provide a portable DBS and successfully complete one of our induction programmes prior to any placements being offered unless you are on the new national DBS database.
