At Paragon Social Care, our vision, Excellence Through Understanding, encapsulates our dedication to enhancing the lives of the children and young people we support.
Our mission is one of holistic nurturing and support, providing a safe haven for our young people to thrive. Our skilled and caring staff cater to each individual's needs, leveraging our Trauma Informed and Positive Behaviour Support frameworks. Our young people remain the heart of all we do, and their wellbeing and success are our primary focus.
Our core endeavour is to instil within each young person the values necessary for a flourishing life:
1. A culture of healthy choices.
2. Self-confidence and self-worth.
3. Good physical and emotional health.
4. Healthy relationships in all spheres of life.
5. A safe environment to explore and reach their full potential.
We are searching for support workers who share our core values of patience, respect, compassion, understanding, and adaptability, and who will be fully committed to the young people we support. We offer zero-hour contracts paid at highly competitive rates. Our shift times are usually 12 hours. We want to give you the tools to do the best you can when supporting children and young people. For that to happen, career growth and professional development are vital.
In order to apply, you must be a car driver with access to a vehicle for work. You should have a warm, engaging personality to connect with children and young people on their level, and you should be flexible in your work life. Ideally, you will have experience in supporting challenging young people; however, we are open to applications from those who feel they have the right skills and values to thrive in the role.
If successful in your interview, you will go through our onboarding stage, which will include training in 16 modules as well as a 2-day in-person Physical Intervention Training course hosted by our in-house GSA Certified tutors. This course is followed by a 1-day in-person training course on Children's Safeguarding, Trauma Informed Practice, Introduction to Polyvagal Theory, and Understanding Your Role at Paragon Social Care.
Our children and young people are the centre of everything we do, and safeguarding them is our number one priority. If this sounds interesting to you and you would like to make a difference in the lives of the children and young people we support, then please apply now with an up-to-date CV.
