Are you playful and accepting, can you show curiosity and empathy?
If you can then you have something really special to offer our Children living in Children's Homes.
If trauma brings resilience, then our Children are superheroes - they deserve the best; the best homes, the best help, the best opportunities, and children tell us over and over again, it's the staff that matter.
We believe that we need the right people, with the right commitment, skills, tenacity, imagination, and energy in order to offer the best to our children. To do this you will be offered high quality support, training, guidance, and development and be part of a motivated and ambitious team.
Hull City Council has been on a journey of improvement and has become a leading provider of Children's Homes. We are committed to developing nurturing, high quality homes where children can thrive and achieve their next steps.
If you want to be part of Hull's journey and make a real difference to children, now is great time to join. We are recruiting to positions within our Disability Children Homes. This post involves being part of a team, working with children and young people with complex health needs and disabilities.
As a Night Care Assistant you will be expected to form part of that child's world of consistent adults, tending to personal care needs, health needs and basic comforts through the night. You will be expected to support the wider team by contributing to care plans and undertaking report writing. We insist on nothing less than the right people, with the right skills and passion for our children to ensure they have positive outcomes and positive experiences.
You will need to have some care experience, preferably with children and you will need to follow policies and procedures and undertake necessary training and development opportunities.
Please ensure that your application demonstrates how you meet the essential criteria against the person specification as listed in the job description.
There is a 1/3 Enhancement in addition to the salary stated for Night Work.
Hours are 74 hours per month and hours will exceed 20 hours per week at times due to the rota.
We are also recruiting Casual Night Care Assistants to work on an as and when basis. If you are interested in Casual Work please apply and indicate this in the 'Additional Information' section of the form. Casual posts are to cover holidays, absence and training, and does not have a set working pattern or regular hours. Due to the long shifts, the ability to be flexible as to when, and how many hours you are able to work is essential. Where possible, work is pre-arranged however, there may be times when you will be asked to work at short notice. Various training courses are also mandatory, which will require you to attend over several days, during weekdays. Please contact Charlie Martin for an informal discussion around how our scheduling works and the training you will need to attend, should you be successful.
We understand that you may have questions or want to speak to someone who already works here to find out more about current opportunities, please feel free to contact Charlie Martin on between 10am and 4pm Monday to Friday for an informal chat.
