This is an exciting time to join Bridgend CBC as we continue to remodel the way we meet the needs of children who need our support in line with the Welsh Government agenda to end profit in childrens residential services in Wales.
Meadows View is a fun and vibrant place to work. The service requires that all members of the team are committed, compassionate and ultimately put the needs of the children first. Team members have to be committed to working in a person centred way in order to meet the needs of the children. Every member of the team has to work well with others and work well in a team.
Meadows View is a purpose-built home that provides care and support for young people from 6 to 17 years of age. The service is made up of two distinct parts, the assessment provision and the emergency provision. Up to seven young people of any gender can be placed at the service at any one time: four in the assessment unit and three in the emergency unit.
Meadows View offers a therapeutic environment for children and young people, using a trauma informed approach to provide the most effective support possible. Enabling them to understand their individual circumstances, develop resilience and self-care skills.
Meadows View has an onsite Board-Certified Behaviour Analyst who co-ordinates the assessment and therapeutic interventions for young people and will work closely with the staff to develop bespoke Positive Behavioural Support Plans designed to reduce challenging behaviours and support positive behavioural change.
As a childrens residential worker you will need to be willing to complete the All Wales Induction Framework as part of your induction, followed by the level 2 and 3 QCF in children and young people as listed in the Qualification framework for the Social Care Sector in Wales. You will also need to register with Social Care Wales once you have completed your induction.
The successful candidate may be required to work across the other residential services where this is required. The successful candidate will need to be committed to learning, improving and developing their practice in line with regulatory requirements. As the service continues to develop and grow there will be pathways and opportunities for further professional development.
Do you feel that you want to be at the centre of the on-going development of this innovative approach to care? Are you able to work on a flexible basis? Can you work to the highest of standards, ensuring that the home remains compliant with Regulatory Requirements and supports children and young people to achieve the best possible outcomes? If so, we would love to hear from you!
