Care Officer (Children's Homes)

The East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Children's Services have been rated GOOD by Ofsted following our recent ILACS inspection. As a Residential Service we strive to deliver outstanding care to our children and young people enabling them to aim high and achieve their goals and aspirations. This is an exciting time to join us as we expand our service provision in order to provide excellent homes for children and young people in the local area maintaining their identity in the place they grew up in. This is for a solo children's home in Skirlaugh for one child with very complex needs.

If you are kind, caring and compassionate, have experience providing outstanding care for children and young people and you're looking for a new challenge where you can develop your portfolio and shape the lives of vulnerable young people, our Care Officer role could be the next step in your career.

The Role

As a Care Officer, you will be responsible for undertaking all aspects of caring and supporting our young person, as any parent would. For example, encouraging and promoting their interests and hobbies, supporting their education, supporting their family time, making their home a clean, warm and cosy environment, cooking meals and making sure they feel safe and secure. You will transport our young person in the home's vehicle, help them with their schoolwork, listen to their wishes and feelings and work with their family to promote positive relationships.

Our children and young people have often experienced trauma. They need understanding and meaningful relationships aimed at keeping them safe and able to enjoy the world around them. Our young people tell us that good Care Officers are caring, approachable, respectful, determined, interested, giving, adaptable and non-judgemental. They help us with the interview process to make sure we take on the right people.

You will receive an in-depth induction, regular supervision and access to a good range of training opportunities. You will need to take part in physical intervention training and be able to use this in your day-to-day work.

All candidates must hold or have the commitment to attain a Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent as stated in the Children's Homes Regulations 2015) within 18 months of programme enrolment to meet regulatory requirements.The role will involve working a range of shifts including weekdays, evenings, weekends and sleep in duties. The nature of shift patterns enables a level of flexibility for employees.

Our Practice Model

Our model

You can, I can, We can'

The work within our Homes for Children reflects our Stronger Together practice model and connects our values and behaviours as one East Riding of Yorkshire approach to working with children and young people, which is nurtured and grown from within East Riding of Yorkshire and owned by our workforce. Having a well-developed practice model helps to create a common language for the service and enables everyone to understand how we go about doing the right things, in the right way and for the right reasons for children and their families.

Is this the role for you? If so, we'd like to hear from you
