Children's Residential Support Worker | Zero Hours Bank Contracts available
Career Opportunity.
The manager would like to onboard multiple new Residential Support Workers - bank staff
Being bank staff means you can pick up shifts to suit you, with what is available. You are not guaranteed hours but there is normally a wealth of hours available. We are looking for bank staff that will be able to work day shifts, waking nights and sleep in shifts. As bank you are welcome to pick up a mix of these shifts or to stick to one type.
Day to Day responsibilities.
A typical day in the home consists of all the things a parent would do for their own child. This means planning their week, ensuring children are eating a balanced diet, providing transport to and from education as well as any health appointments. The home encourages young people to try new things so you'll be expected to support extracurricular activities as well.
As a regulated industry, safeguarding, recordkeeping and recording are of the upmost importance.
Type of person we are looking for.
The young people here can be vulnerable and have been let down numerous times throughout their lives.
This means sometimes they can display challenging behaviour. As a result, you'll need to be a confident individual that is resilient and is able to think quickly, act appropriately and de-escalate any situation you may face. You will need to be able to work a mix of day, night and sleep-in shifts.
If you have a drivers license and any qualifications relating to childcare, healthcare, supported living or mental health this will be a benefit to your application.
