About Sycamore Fort William
Aberlour Sycamore Fort William is a residential care home for children and young people up to the age of 18 years old. Our experienced team of staff seek to create a comfortable home for the young people where they can grow and flourish, participating in educational and community activities to achieve their goals. We work using a Dyadic Developmental Practice model which means that we ensure that the child and their behaviour is understood and the child feels as safe as possible at home, in school and in social activities.
What we are looking for....
We are looking for an exceptional group of relief workers to provide ad hoc cover when staff are on holiday or are off sick. Relief workers are a vital part of our team, helping to ensure that full cover is available throughout the year.
Work is offered on a casual basis - Relief workers are not obliged to accept shifts offered and Aberlour is not obliged to offer shifts. In return for taking on this essential role, you will work alongside a dedicated, supportive staff team and be offered valuable training and development opportunities.
You will have a knowledge and understanding of the importance of attachment, trauma and how this can impact an individual's development. At times our children express their distress through their behaviour and the role can be emotionally and physically challenging therefore, we are looking for someone who is resilient, understands that behaviour is a means of communication and is trauma responsive.
At Aberlour we want to make sure every child and young person has the love, support and opportunity they need to reach their potential. If you share the same vision, we want you to join our team.
What we offer...
As well as a supportive team and excellent training opportunities, we want all our employees to feel valued and rewarded for the vital work they do. When you work with us, we'll recognise your efforts with generous annual leave, an excellent employer pension scheme and a range of deals and discounts across various retailers.
