These supply posts are an exciting opportunity to be part of the Wellbank House team who offer a safe supportive environment for young people aged 16-24 to enable positive transitions into adulthood and independent living.
This employment opportunity is flexible so as we can maintain the continuity of care whilst we need to cover staff training, sickness, or holiday periods.
If you can offer times that suit your own personal circumstances and that will allow us to be responsive towards covering our current staffing structure and shift patterns, then this is role for you. This employment experience could offer a career progression into a more permanent role as it will involve exposure to new experiences, teams and service areas.
Skills & Experience Required
You should have direct experience in working with vulnerable or at-risk young people, or, have transferable skills and knowledge about issues they may face and how you may help manage these within a team setting as well as working autonomously.
An ability to assess, safety plan and to support young people toward individual development, confidence-building and empowerment is essential.
If you have the ability to choose shifts that suit your own personal circumstances, enjoy working with young people, have a good sense of humour, treat others with respect, empathy, are a good listener and have the ability to work in a professional context, you could be perfect for the role.
Ideally you will have an SVQ3 and HNC in Social Care, or an SVQ4 in Social Care or other equivalent qualification as recognised by SSSC to meet full registration requirements for a Senior Social Care Officer.
Alternatively, an HNC in Social Care (or equivalent) and willingness to complete an SVQ Level 3 within agreed timescales can be supported and funded on successful appointment, Induction and training period.
