**A bit about the role**

RCT Community Short Breaks allows children to enjoy a safe, meaningful experience and an opportunity has arisen for Community Short Breaks Workers to join our dedicated, friendly, warm and professional team.

Our Community Short Breaks Workers provide essential support to children and young people with disabilities or additional needs, by offering temporary respite care.

The service allows the families of the children and young people a much-needed break whilst providing the individuals we care for an engaging, safe, supportive and enriching environment.

You'll collaborate with families and other professionals to tailor activities and support to the specific needs of each child or young person.

We are ready to support and develop you to build on the experience you already have. We would love to hear from you if you want to help change lives by working at the forefront of child-centered care.

- Providing temporary respite care for children and young people
- Planning and organising engaging activities that promote independence and personal development.
- Supporting with their needs whilst providing emotional support, personal care and maintaining a clean, safe and nurturing environment.
- Monitoring and assessing the progress and behaviour of children and young people, providing feedback to families and relevant professionals
- Participating in training and professional development opportunities to stay updated on best practices in care and support

**Let's talk about you**
- Experience working within a care environment preferably working with children and young people with learning disabilities, their families, and carers.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively interact with children, young people, families and other professionals
- Ability to work on your own or as part of a team.
