As and When needed

Have you thought about a career in a care setting? Would you like to make a positive difference to children/young people’s lives? Do you want a role that’s supports your work life balance? If so, we would love to hear from you.

This is an exciting time to join Bridgend CBC as we continue to remodel the way we meet the needs of children and young people who need our support. The homes provide placements of varying lengths to children/young people in the age range 7 to 18 years (at the time of admission) who (for whatever reason) cannot live with their own immediate or extended family.

The homes are committed to offering a stimulating, safe, caring environment that promotes a holistic approach to all aspects of the child/young person’s life. As a Children’s Residential Worker, you will be supported to access a range of training to help you fulfil the role. You will need to be willing to complete the required induction to register with Social Care Wales and complete the required qualification for the role within an agreed timeframe as set out by Social Care Wales qualification framework. Your duties could include covering night duties, weekend duties, sleeping-in and emergency response duties, the need to be flexible is key to this role.

As a Casual Residential Worker, you will work as part of a team too:
Provide children/young people with an individualised package of support that focuses on their assessed needs.

Offer children/young people therapeutically informed interventions to assist them in achieving personal well-being.

Assist children/young people to explore their own issues and experiences and work through any emotions and feelings which may become a barrier to a stable placement and future accommodation.

Provide appropriate levels of support that recognise, value, and encourage children/young people to maintain personal skills and competencies and promote their confidence and self-esteem.

Provide a comprehensive package of educational support to promote the best possible outcomes for children/young people within their educational setting.

Work closely with families or substitute families to ensure that when children/young people return home or go to other suitable placements, adequate support via a transition plan is given to both the young person and their family to ensure success.

Provide age-appropriate independent living programmes to assist young people to be able to develop the necessary skills to enable them to, if appropriate, live independently.

The ability to greet customers through the medium of Welsh is a requirement for this post.

Protecting children, young people or adults at risk is a core responsibility of all council employees.

Criminal records check by the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) is a requirement for this post.

Night Duties, Sleeping In, Weekend Working and Emergency Response are a requirement of this post.
