Job Description:
At Paragon Social Care, we support vulnerable and challenging children and young people who are looked after by the council and are between longer-term placements. We step in during these critical times of transition and supply wrap-around, 24/7 packages of support. These support packages include a staffing ratio of 1:1 up to a maximum of 6:1 depending on the individual needs of each young person.
Our support packages can be based anywhere in the UK, staff must be flexible with travel for this reason. This job therefore suits those who don't have large commitments at home; you have the ability to fit this role around your current lifestyle with flexible working hours.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Keeping the young person safe
* Engaging with the young person on an emotional level
* Ensuring the young person sees to their personal care
* Taking the young person out on activities and fun days out
* Taking the young person to meetings, school, appointments, etc.
* Cooking for the young person
* Keeping the home clean and tidy
We are looking for Crisis Support Workers who ideally have previous experience of working with challenging children and young people, but this is not essential! We also provide all relevant training, free of charge. If you don't have previous experience but have the qualities we are looking for, then we’d love you to apply…
You will need to have:
* Flexibility in your working life
* A driving license with your own vehicle, and willingness to obtain Motor Vehicle Business Insurance
* A clear DBS
* Full Right To Work status in the UK
At Paragon Social Care, Safeguarding Children is our Number 1 priority. We strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where each child can flourish. Our support is underpinned by the Trauma-Informed and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) frameworks.
