Do you want to work in a role that makes a positive difference to young people's lives? Are you looking for the next step in your career with a company that will support and train you?
Dove Adolescent Services are looking for Residential Childcare Support Workers to join our team.
As part of our team, you will help provide flexible, individual residential care packages for children and young people. Our goal is to transform lives by being passionate, innovative, and invested in everything we do.
To achieve the ambitions we have for our young people, we know it takes a passionate team who share our vision - to see children follow their dreams and reach their full potential. Working at Dove Adolescent Services, you will be joining a supportive and collaborative team which recognises you as an individual.
We invest heavily in the continued professional development of our employees - that's why our Operations Directors and the majority of our Home Managers all began their careers at Dove as Residential Childcare Support Workers and worked their way up.
As a Young Persons Support Worker, your day isn't always spent in one of our Residential Children's Homes… walking or biking the Pennine trails, catching the latest film at the cinema or thrill seeking at a theme park is all on the agenda - the list is endless and all depends on the interests of our young people.
Your main duties and requirements would include, but not are not limited to:
* Promoting, safeguarding and protecting the welfare of our young people
* Establishing and maintaining positive and trusting relationships with our young people
* Encouraging the development of the individual interests of our young people
* A desire to learn, we provide full training for you to achieve a Childcare Diploma Level 3/ Apprenticeship Level 4
What do we need from you?
1. Experience of supporting young people who may be vulnerable is desired but not essential
2. Understanding and commitment to the role - including some weekends and
