Job Description:
Have you always wanted to work as a children's Residential Support Worker but never had the chance?
We have an AMAZING opportunity for a Children's Residential Support Worker to join a children's residential service in Thringstone, Leicester, supporting young people between the ages of 8-18 with Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties (EBD) and challenging behaviours.
We are looking for enthusiastic, resilient, and motivated individuals who want to make a difference in the lives of young people; to enable them to develop socially, emotionally, and behaviourally in a setting where they feel safe and cared for.
No two days are ever the same, so you need to be happy to work in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment. It is challenging but incredibly rewarding work!
You will be committed, passionate, and able to engage, encourage, and mentor the young people, whilst having a whole lot of fun! Getting paid to play football, computer games, and going to theme parks is certainly a perk of the job!
**Due to the nature of the job and the activities involved, we are only able to consider applicants who have a full driver's license and a car (sleep allowance included)
Location: Thringstone, Leicester
Salary: £28,500 - £31,500

* Opportunity to do the NVQ level 4 Children & Young People qualification - fully funded!
* Company pension
* 28 days annual leave
* Access to discounts for shopping outlets, restaurants, and cinemas
* Comprehensive Training Package including scheduled ongoing face-to-face training and CPD planning
* Plenty of opportunities to maximize earnings and career development
* Enhanced disclosure cost coverage
As a Children's Residential Support Worker, you will be responsible for:
* Encouraging young people to participate in activities and take responsibility for their own lives depending on their age.
* Maintaining the homely, friendly culture and environment of the homes.
* Dealing with challenging behaviours when needed.
* Protecting children and young people from risks to their health and welfare.
* Providing support for the children and young people in the home and promoting their independence and well-being.
* Maintaining a safe environment for young people.
* Ensuring the safety of the students and maintaining an up-to-date knowledge of the care plans, guidelines, reward systems, and communication methods.
* Supporting challenging behaviour safely and sympathetically.
* Developing and maintaining good working relationships with staff, parents, social workers, and other professionals involved in the young people's lives such as psychologists.
Requirements:
* Experience as a Children's Residential Support Worker, or with Young People, is desirable.
* Experience within another healthcare or social care setting is desirable.
* You must be a car driver as you will be required to transport young people occasionally.
* You must be over the age of 21.
* NVQ or QCF level 3 in Children & Young People is desirable.
* You must be able to commute to Thringstone, Leicester.
* If you are passionate about the lives of young people and want to make a real difference, supporting young people between the ages of 8 - 18 with EBD, whilst starting on a career path within health & social care - this is the job for you!
