Weymouth, United Kingdom AWD online Full time

**Start or continue a rewarding career in child care as a Residential Child Care Worker ?**

We have an exciting opportunity for more caring individuals to join the team as a Residential Child Care Worker at the House, a home for one child aged 6 - 12 on admission. You will be working with an experienced team and in a culture where children arerespected, listened to and involved in as many decisions as possible. The home is easily commutable from towns such as Weymouth, Osmington, Dorchester and Wareham.

Could you be that someone who can connect with a child and change their life? If so, read on to find out more about this highly fulfilling job.

As a Residential Child Care Worker, your day will be varied and interesting whilst also following a planned structure, so you know what to expect. You will support the children to learn healthy routines, take them to appointments, help with schooling, completehousehold tasks and ensure electronic records are up to date. You’ll also be able to take the children on trips - how many people can say they get to go kayaking, watch a film or go to a theme park in their working day?

The leadership team will invest in your progression as a professional in the child care sector. Not only do they source and deliver up to date training opportunities, they also prioritise and discuss your personal development goals to ensure you’re gettingthe most out of your career. They know how important it is that they look after you, so you can look after the children who need you, and that’s one of the key reasons they were named Employer of the Year at the National Children and Young People Awards 2021.

Working as a Residential Child Care Worker the role can be challenging at times, as the children have often experienced a great deal of loss and adversity in their lives. As a result, the young people are likely to have attachment difficulties. However,with the training they provide and continued support from the team, you will be equipped with the skills and confidence you need to manage these challenges.

The young people may have had many adults come in and out of their lives, often adding to their trauma. Therefore, they are looking for committed and dedicated people that want to grow a career out of this rewarding role and not give up at the first hurdle.You’ll be a natural at building a rapport with children and someone who is full of empathy, so you can understand and relate to the young people you work with.

When it comes to the residential staff, they don’t settle for second best. Previous experience in a care setting would be advantageous, and QCF Level 3/4 in Children and Young people is desirable but not essential. The right attitude, dedication, personalqualities and levels of resilience are just as important (they will support you to complete the relevant qualifications). What really matters is that you share the vision and determination to turn children’s lives around.

**The Team**

They are a friendly group of 9 residential child care workers, and they’re looking for new people to join the family. The house is situated in a quiet residential area and looks like any other detached, well-maintained home. There is a large, lawned gardenand a spacious communal area, allowing the children (and adults) to play, have fun, and socialise all year round.

The house also enjoys excellent transport links, with plenty of opportunities for leisure pursuits in the local area, such as water sports, walking, climbing, and trips to the cinema or shops. The role is hugely rewarding but often challenging, so they makesure they’re always there for each other when times get hard. They can’t wait to welcome another member of the team and they will make sure you feel supported every step of the way.

**Hours**

On average 39 hours a week which typically includes two sleep-ins per week, for which you receive an additional £50 payment per sleep-in.

**WHY JOIN?**
- 30 days (22 days plus 8 bank holidays) annual leave allowance
