We strive to provide the highest quality of care, so whether you’re just starting your career in children’s social care or are already qualified, you’ll be supported, recognised and rewarded for your essential part in our vital work.
About The Role
As a Break support worker you’ll be working hands-on day in day out with the young people living in the children’s home.
The first twelve months of your time at Break will see you build relationships with the young people we care for and support in our homes. Day to day you may find yourself planning and taking part in trips and activities and learning new skills to help young people overcome communication difficulties.
Every milestone in our disability services is celebrated and treasured. We can’t promise every day will be easy, but we can promise the sense of pride you’ll feel for the young people you support and care for.
You’ll need to be an excellent team player who is warm, caring, calm and resilient enough to cope with the complex emotional and behavioural needs of the young people we support.
You will need to successfully complete an NVQ Level 3 in Residential Childcare before you complete 24 months of Support Work. This will be fully funded by Break and you will be supported by our training team.
Please note that you must have a full, valid, manual driving licence. You will be required to work shifts.
In your role, you’ll have access to the following benefits:
* Free, career-enhancing qualifications
* A “golden hello” scheme welcoming you to our services, with £500 paid to you one month after your start date and a second £500 at the six-month mark. (Not available to candidates referred by recruitment agencies) (Subject to conditions)
* A referral scheme offering the same two payments as the golden hello if you recommend a contact who goes on to be employed by Break in care services. (subject to conditions)
* Annual leave purchase
* Additional service-related holiday from 2 years
* Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
* Company funded medical cash plan
* Enhanced sick pay and family friendly leave
* Pension salary sacrifice
