Cwmdare Rhondda Cynon Taf, United Kingdom Rhondda Cynon Taf Council Full time

Job Reference: REQ001123  

Location: Bryndar Children’s Home, Cwmdare.

Contractual Hours: 27 hours

Do you have what it takes to make a positive difference in the lives of children and young people?

Are you a hardworking and resilient individual who is able to engage with and emotionally support children and young people?

An opportunity has arisen to recruit Night Residential Child Care Practitioners (NRCCP) based at Bryndar Children’s Home in Cwmdare Aberdare RCT.  As a NRCCP, you will work between the hours of 10:15pm and 07:15am. You will be part of a caring team, that provides a safe, nurturing home for up to four children and young people, led and supported by an experienced Registered Manager, and senior staff.

Successful applicants will be committed to improving the lives of children with complex needs and those who have experienced childhood trauma. You will be committed to understanding individual past experiences, of children and young people, and show compassion in your approach to the impact of these on the ability to settle and sleep at night. Providing care and support for up to four children and young people, you will need to work creatively with a high level of active engagement in activities and direct work. You will be supported and trained to practice in a therapeutic environment, utilising the Trauma Recovery Model of care. Much of your role will be spent supporting individuals to work through their experiences, with the goal of aiding recovery and building resilience, to achieve their personal goals, providing a safe and suitable environment that supports learning and personal growth.

This will involve you providing emotional and physical support to enable children and young people to reach their full potential, sometimes in challenging situations, where you will need to be responsive to issues outside the home. As such the ability to travel independently is required for this role.

To succeed in the role, you must be passionate, patient and committed to those you work with, and the professional standards of the role. This will include working actively with families and professionals to ensure care and support is personalised to meet individual needs.

Candidates Will Need To Demonstrate:

Excellent communication skills

Positivity and resilience

A commitment to providing safe and caring environments for children and young people to learn and grow

Compassion, Empathy, and an enthusiasm to promote individual choice

The ability to invest in developing trusting relationships.

An enthusiasm and commitment to your own learning

An ability to work flexibly

You will need to be prepared to work shifts, inclusive of bank holidays, weekends, and sleep in duties. You may occasionally be required to work in other residential locations to support our other homes within the local authority, to meet the needs of the service.

You will be expected to hold or be prepared to work towards the QCF Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care (Children and Young People) or predecessor qualification NVQ Level 3 (Children and Young People). You will be registered with Social Care Wales, either on appointment, or following completion of the Induction Framework.

Our Offer To You:

We recognise that working in Social Care is professionally and personally challenging and demands considerable levels of skill, commitment, and enthusiasm. We offer a dedicated in-house Learning and Development Centre which actively supports our staff to maintain their skills and Continuous Professional Development. Successful applicants will be fully funded to receive the necessary training and support required to undertake the role. Successful applicants who do not hold the relevant qualification will be supported to achieve the QCF Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care (Children and Young People) within 2 years of appointment.

Benefits:

RCT Council employees also have access to a wide range of staff benefits which include:

26 days Annual Leave, rising to 31 days after 5 years’ service. There is also an option to purchase additional annual leave to a maximum of 10 days (pro rata) per year.
