£12.59 - £13.34ph
An excellent opportunity for a Residential Support Worker to join our home in Dewsbury. The home is rated Good in all areas with OFSTED and has an excellent reputation with the local authorities. Many of the Children & Young People we support have a learning disability, Autism, epilepsy and/or can display some associated behaviours. Many of our children (not all) are non-verbal or have limited communication and will communicate with us through different methods such as picture boards, Smartbox devices and Makaton.
At Inspire it is imperative and important that our children enjoy new and varied experiences that encourage them to be the best version of themselves and that any disability is not seen as a barrier but an opportunity for inspirational outside the box thinking.
We hold a belief that no child should be disadvantaged and that all children are part of the community, enjoying all that this offers including celebrations, events and fundraising.
Our teams are fully committed to Inspire's goals, they understand the challenges and rewards of working with our young people and know that every day they will achieve things that really matter.
Our guiding principles are:
Integrity, it is the foundation of what we do. A nurturing approach to our young people and staff and a passion that will drive your commitment to achieve the very best for our children.
Bringing our plans to life will be challenging and intense but, with enthusiasm, creativity and a hands-on approach, the reward and satisfaction will be second to none.
If this sounds like the kind of challenge you are looking for, we would love to hear from you.
