An opportunity has arisen for a Senior Childcare Residential Worker, to provide child-centred support to children and young people at a small residential service in Keighley.
This service meets the needs of 2 young people both on a social and emotional level.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Childcare Worker, who is a caring individual and passionate about providing an excellent level of care to children and young people.
Senior Childcare Worker Role
You will work really hard to create a home environment that exceeds the needs of the children and young people – enabling them to express their characters, feel safe and enrich their lives.
The children and young people that you will care for can demonstrate a wide range of behaviours and can be very demanding of time, attention, and emotions.
A senior residential childcare support worker advocates pro-actively for each young person’s needs, rights and views and ensures that these are met.
You will also make certain that each young person’s individuality, difference and diversity are always appreciated and that our young people are provided with equal opportunities and are not discriminated against.
Senior childcare workers encourage each young person to be involved in all aspects of their care. This will involve skill development, problem solving and assessment of risk, while being mindful of their individual capabilities.
As a Senior Childcare Worker, you will support the Manager and Deputy Manager in providing the best quality childcare in a safe and care-focused environment for the young people.
When on shift you will have initial responsibilities for monitoring and supervision of staff and take responsibility for the day-to-day management, and guidance of colleagues whilst ensuring the welfare and care of the young people.
