Exciting opportunity!
We are looking for a part-time Senior Children's Residential Worker to join our fantastic team.
You will support two children in a lovely home supported by a team of 6 colleagues.
We are seeking to appoint suitably skilled, motivated, and caring Senior Children’s Residential Worker to work with and support children and young people aged between 9 to 17 years of age.
There are times when children and young people in care require additional support to manage complex trauma.
Placements that are warm, supportive, and have a homely feel are hard to find, which can result in multiple placement breakdowns before a suitable placement that can contain risk and manage social and emotional needs is found. This leads to young people who are most vulnerable being placed a long way from home and not always achieving the best outcomes. We provide loving homes for children to remain in Wakefield and only receive the best possible care.
This post requires an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual with good communication skills. You will need to be organised and confident in interactions with children and young people, able to lead and support your team within a senior role with the support of the Assistant Manager and Homes Manager.
You will hold an NVQ3 / Diploma in caring for children and young people, or be willing to work to achieve this qualification following appointment within two years.
Effective induction, supervision, and training will be provided to all staff.
The work involves shift patterns, including weekends, sleep-ins, and Bank Holidays.
If you would like to know more about the role, the recruitment process, or working for Wakefield Council, feel free to contact Rebecca Nicklin.
