**Job description**

**Full-Time Senior Residential Care Workers to join our brand-new home in Oxton Village, Wirral.**

We at Williamson Care believe in 'hands on' leadership, uniting our team behind a shared purpose and being transparent and unapologetic in our pursuit of excellence. With a core focus on the experience of the children in our care, we seek to create a homely environment, high quality relationships between the children and our staff team whilst being unwavering in our commitment to support children to believe they can succeed (no matter their starting point).

Residential childcare can be a challenging role but it can also be extremely rewarding. You will be supported by the Registered Manager to progress in your role, with fantastic training opportunities to help you progress your career.

All staff will receive full training and an induction, and you must be passionate about making a genuine difference to the lives of children and young people.

**Main Duties and Responsibilities**:

- Ensure the safety and wellbeing of children in the home at all times.
- Act as the lead staff member on shifts and ensure that shifts are well planned to meet the needs of individual children and young people.
- Support key worker/s and act as lead key worker for one of the children in the home.

- Deputise in the absence of the Registered Manager.
- Work as part of a management team to ensure the highest levels of care for children and young people.
- Manage challenging and risk-based behaviours and supporting other team members.
- Ensure that all carers are working in line with individual risk assessments, care plans, Williamson Care policies and procedures, and relevant legislation.
- Effective communication with other professionals and sharing relevant information.
- Provide outstanding levels of care for children living in the home.
- Work as part of a team to ensure children and young people are supported with their health, education, having fun and staying safe.
- Supporting children and young people who have experienced trauma and whose behaviour may be challenging as a result of their childhood experiences.
- To maintain the confidentiality of children and young people in line with company policies and GDPR legislation.
- Raise concerns when worried about a child or young person, and ensure accurate recordings at all times.
- Completing daily paperwork in line with policies, procedures and legislation, and ensuring that other administrative tasks are completed to a high standard.
- Contribute to reports and meetings about children living in the home and work as part of a multi-agency team.

**Personal Qualities which are important for supporting children and young people in residential care**:

- **Patience** - you will need to be patient and understand that sometimes progress is made in small steps.
- **Passion** to make a difference to the lives of vulnerable young people - you will need to be a caring person and form positive relationships with the children you will be caring for.
- **Forgiveness** - our children will need more than a second chance and may communicate complex and difficult thoughts and feelings through their behaviour.
- **Positivity** - we want the children in our home to be recognised for their achievements and successes, and they need carers who can see and highlight their positive qualities, as they may not see this in themselves.
- **Self-reflection and honesty** - sometimes adults make mistakes, and we want carers that will reflect on their own practice to improve the care they deliver. Our young people will respond to carers who are honest and genuine.
- **Humour** - knowing appropriate times to use humour can help young people reduce their stresses or anxieties.
- **Resilience** - carers need to be able to manage stressful incidents and behaviours as well as support young people who may have experienced significant abuse in their lives. You will be fully supported by the management team and Williamson Care will support with staff counselling on a confidential basis.
