Job Description:
Salary £28,142 - £32,062 per annum (Pro Rata) | Permanent, Part Time, 17 hours per week | Evergreen Lodge
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Residential Service as a Residential Child Care Worker (RCCW) within Evergreen Lodge Children’s Residential Respite Unit. We support children with severe learning disabilities, physical disabilities, complex health and behaviour issues, and Autism.
We aim to support these vulnerable children so that their social, emotional, intellectual, cultural, and physical needs are met, and they are given the opportunity to reach their full potential. Successful candidates must demonstrate the ability to build effective working relationships with children, show good teamwork, communication, and record-keeping skills.
You will be expected to assess the needs of children visiting Evergreen Lodge for short breaks, plan, implement, and review care plans alongside the staff team. You will also work with other agencies such as education, social workers, and health professionals to promote the children’s needs. RCCWs also support children with transitions to future placements.
The working hours will include weekends, evenings, and overnight sleep-in duties, for which a sleep-in allowance will be paid. Shift patterns are usually mornings from 7am-11am or 3pm, and evenings from 2pm-10pm. You will also be expected to attend staff meetings and training as appropriate.
Due to the vulnerability of our children, PPE must be worn when supporting children with personal care. The position is covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013). If successful, you will be required to apply for a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Further information can be found on the 'Our Recruitment Process' tab.
Lancashire County Council offers a range of benefits, which can be found on the LCC Vacancies website. We reserve the right to close the vacancy early if sufficient applications are received.
