Stafford, United Kingdom Staffordshire County Council Full time

Job Introduction
Join us in Staffordshire to work with our children, young people, and families.

We are committed to providing the best care and support, fostering lifelong relationships with our children. Creativity and fun are at the core of our approach, both inside and outside the homes. Our specialist teams support children and young people across Staffordshire, with numerous vacancies available.

Main Responsibilities
We embrace strength-based approaches and offer a rewarding work-life balance.

As a Residential Worker, you'll work within the children's home, supporting young people aged 8 to 17. Your role will involve basic household tasks and providing emotional support, as many children come from challenging backgrounds.

You'll engage in 1:1 sessions addressing emotions and behaviours, collaborating with professionals to meet their needs. We prioritise your well-being, ensuring manageable caseloads and a supportive environment.

**What you can expect from us**:
We have a detailed induction programme specifically designed to cover all elements of the role, so that you have all the tools and knowledge ready to get going.

We have an ambitious, confident, and motivated management team who are experienced, supportive, and keen to help you learn and grow. We have a selection of free courses for you to learn new things, and even have funded qualifications we can support you with obtaining.

You will have a monthly 1:1 reflective space with managers, a comprehensive employee support offer, and lots of opportunity to network with other professionals that support children.

We encourage our children to participate and get involved in all decisions, and recruitment is no different. It is really important to us that anyone joining the residential team has the skills, abilities, and outlook that our children tell us they need from us.

What our children want from you:

- "I would like someone like me who has time to listen instead of being behind a locked door”_
- "I would like someone who listens to me but also takes action and who I can have a laugh with - they also need to be able to make nice food"_
- "I would like someone who spends time with me"_

**What we are looking for**:

- **Passion** - Thinking creatively to ensure that our children are supported to achieve their aspirations (no matter how big or small) will need to be top of your list We are looking for passionate practitioners (irrelevant of length of experience) who truly care and want to make a difference to children, young people and families.
- **Challenge** - Some days will be tough, for our children, for you, and for your colleagues - we're after someone who is dedicated and committed, and who will always go that extra mile for our children (even on the bad days). Working as part of a close professional team is really important and you will need to be a team player to get through those tough times.
- **Forward thinking** - We are an expanding service with big ideas and aspirational views. We are looking for workers who can join our team and join us on this exciting journey, making contributions to help shape and inform the future of the service for our children
- **Values **- We are looking for someone who has values aligned to those that are integral to our service and our organisation - supportive, innovative, respectful and collaborative

**Are you interested?**
