Job Opportunity: Weekend Youth Support Workers
We are recruiting 6 Weekend Youth Support Workers to join our team in Children's Residential Care Homes.
We welcome individuals who may not have the relevant qualifications or experience, as we have a dedicated training department that can support and train successful candidates. 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 with confidence, understanding, patience, and the skills to positively impact their lives.
This role involves providing guidance, interaction, and support to children and young adults in residential, educational, or independent living settings, aiming to create a safe environment that addresses their intellectual, spiritual, social, and emotional needs.
Responsibilities include supporting service users with daily tasks such as meal preparation, social activities, family contacts, education, and shopping. Please note that personal care is not part of this role.
We are seeking positive role models who are flexible, reliable, and interactive, eager to work in a specialized environment. Full accredited training and qualifications will be provided, including Team Teach, Child Protection, First Aid, Understanding Sexualised Behaviour, Working with Self-Harm, Cyberbullying, and Understanding Autism and ADHD.
Applicants will need to complete an enhanced DBS check or provide a portable DBS and successfully complete an induction program before placements are offered, unless already on the new national DBS database.
