4 months ago

Coventry, United Kingdom Coventry City Council Full time

About the team we are recruiting to
We value diverse perspectives and experiences and are striving to create a workplace culture that is inclusive, is accepting of all and is free from discrimination and bias.

In Coventry, we are working hard to build something special. Children and families are at the heart of everything we do, and we believe they deserve the best outcomes. Children’s Services provides a wide range of statutory and non-statutory duties, from Early Help Services, through to children who are looked after.

The service reflects and responds to the changing needs of children and their families. It works to enable a reflective and flexible approach, with a strong Early Help offer and a real focus on Relationship Based Practice and Signs of Safety, which focuses on intervention and keeping families together.

Children’s Services is proud of its achievements to date and is continuing to ensure children and families remain at the heart of all it does. We will provide you with an environment where social work can flourish, with high support, high challenge and manageable caseloads. Children’s Services is proud of its workforce, who are committed, dedicated, and work to a high standard. We are seeking other like minded practitioners who would like to join us. We pride ourselves on building relationships with families and partners and hold respectful practice at the centre of all we do.

What is the job role?

We currently have 5 well-established Children's Residential Homes within the city and a forward-thinking vision to open additional homes enabling Coventry’s young people to stay closer to their family, friends and community.

At present we care for up to 16 looked after children aged 10 to 18 years, who have a diverse range of needs and may have been impacted by childhood trauma.

By joining our highly motivated and dedicated team working in our Children’s Homes offers opportunities to make a real difference to the lives of our amazing looked after children. We deliver excellent standards of care using Signs of Safety and ensuring Relationship Based Practice provides a safe and nurturing space for them to call home.

**What our children say**

We consulted our looked-after children and young people from Coventry about how they would like to be cared for. These are some of the things they said;
**We would like -**
- to be listened to
- to be treated with respect, dignity and individuality
- to feel safe
- to be helped to achieve our full potential
- to be supported to be independent
- to be cared for by people who won’t give up on us
- to build and maintain positive relationships and where possible, not to move to far away from where we used to live and to stay in the same school
- to make happy memories

**About the job role**

There are 3 key areas of skill essential to this role:
**Day to day carer** - Supporting the children to continue their daily routines within a safe, secure, nurturing environment that they can call home and that they can thrive in.

**Relationship builder** - Supporting behaviours through relationships and promoting the development of meaningful interaction between staff and children based on the core values of mutual respect, good parenting, privacy, dignity, independence, choice, rights, fulfilment, child centred, planning and partnership.

**Educator** - Providing children with the information they need in a way that they understand to enable them to make informed choices about their own care and to give them the ability to make reasoned decisions about the world around them, for example, social issues, preparation for independence, physical and emotional health

This post is exempted under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and as such appointment to this post will be conditional upon the receipt of a satisfactory response to a check of police records via Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

Who are we looking for?
The children we look after within our homes have a diverse range of needs. You may not have worked in residential care before, but you will need to have experience of working with children and young people and be passionate about improving outcomes for them.

Ideally you will be a driver, have a good level of computer literacy to be able to evidence the work we do, and be committed to continued professional development. In return we will offer you a high level of support with bespoke training and if you haven’t already achieved the Diploma for Residential Childcare, we will support you to do this.

You should have:

- An understanding of the needs of children who become 'looked after'
- Knowledge of relationships and their impact on children coming into and leaving care
- An understanding of the individual needs of our children and be able to work holistically to deliver within the 3 key areas of skill

If you think you have the right skills to help us to achieve great things for our children by placing them at the centre of every
