Join Our Team as a Weekend Youth Support Worker
We are recruiting 6 Weekend Youth Support Workers to work in Children's Residential Care Homes.
We welcome individuals who may not have the relevant qualifications or experience, as our dedicated training department provides comprehensive training and support. We believe that some of the best support workers are those with life experience and a desire to work in the care sector.
You will work with young people aged 11 to 21 who are in the care system for various reasons, with diverse needs and behaviors. We seek individuals who are confident, understanding, patient, and skilled to make a positive impact on their lives.
This role involves providing guidance, interaction, and support within residential, educational, or independent living settings, aiming to create a safe environment that addresses the intellectual, spiritual, social, and emotional needs of the young people.
You will support service users throughout the day with tasks such as meal preparation, social activities, family contacts, education, and shopping. Please note that personal care is not required in this position.
We are looking for positive role models who are flexible, reliable, and engaging.
Full accredited training and qualifications, including Team Teach, Child Protection, First Aid (St Johns Ambulance), Understanding Sexualised Behaviour, Working with Self Harm, Cyberbullying, and Understanding Autism and ADHD, will be provided.
Applicants must complete an enhanced DBS check or provide a portable DBS and successfully complete our induction program before placements are offered, unless already on the new national DBS database.
