Enhancements for waking nights, Bank Holidays, and Sunday working and sleep in rate £83.00.

We are seeking to recruit suitable people to work within our Children’s Homes. The home provides care for a small number of children and young people who, for a variety of reasons, cannot currently live with their families. 

We are committed to a relational practice model approach when working with young people and their families.

The successful candidates will provide a high quality of care and support, which meets the physical, emotional, intellectual, behavioural, health, social and cultural needs of the children and families for whom the home provides a service. This will include working with children with challenging behaviour, complex emotional problems, mental health disorders and other additional/special needs.

Applicants must:

Have a recognised QCF Level 3 diploma in Residential Care in working with children and young people or an equivalent qualification or a willingness to undertake.

Experience of working with children and young people.

An understanding of child development and challenging behaviour.

A positive attitude and the ability to work with young people.

You will also be required to work unsocial hours – including weekends, bank holidays, and nights. A full UK driving license is a requirement for this post.
