Job description

Residential Care Worker

Did you know on average 100 children and young people enter the care system every day?

YMCA Robin Hood Group are opening our first home in Selby and are recruiting Therapeutic Residential Care Workers to be part of our new team.

We already operate not-for-profit homes for children aged 5-17 years old providing them with a safe, loving, nurturing home and are looking forward to being able to extend our care to more children in Selby.

But we are not your typical Children’s Care Home; we follow a trauma-informed therapeutic care model designed by a Consultant Psychologist specifically to support those children who have been affected by trauma, abuse or neglect. By following this model, you are giving the children the very best opportunity to thrive in life and have positive outcomes.

**Salary**: £25,500 - £33,820

Base salary (dependent on experience) £25,500 - £26,500 per annum

Plus Sleep-In's (*based on 8 sleeps in per month) £4,320 per annum

Plus performance related pay up to £3,000 per annum

Benefits: Lots of great additional benefits listed towards the bottom of the advert

Locations: Selby and Goole

Contract Type: Full Time, Permanent

Hours: 40 per week Working on a rotating shift pattern

You will work on average 40 hours per week including a 30 mins paid break. As to be expected, the home needs cover 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year so your shifts may include early starts, late finishes and over nights. On average you will work 7 shifts across a 3 week rolling rota.

What experience you need to have to become a Therapeutic Residential Care Worker:
Whether your background is in children’s residential care, nursing, or as a care worker in general, some previous experience of providing care is required.

We will support you to gain your level 3 Diploma for Residential Care, we are really open to your background and previous experience. We are looking for you to embody our YMCA Robin Hood Group core values; Honesty, Responsibility, Respect and Care. If you already have your level 3 Diploma, we have pathways all the way up to level 7 (MBA). So where ever you are on your career path we can help you get there.

Ideally you will drive and have your own car to facilitate travelling between the different homes.

Training you will get when you join to ensure your able to succeed in this role:
With our comprehensive induction plan, where we will spend the first 2 weeks training you fully in our therapeutic care model followed by shadow shifts in your home so you are able to follow these principles in all work you do with the children and young people. Depending on your level of experience you will then be paired with a mentor to help you succeed.

About the role of a Therapeutic Residential Care Worker:
As a Therapeutic Residential Care Worker, you will work really closely with these children supporting them in every aspect of their life; getting ready for school, playing games, planning weekend activities and holidays, homework, cooking, cleaning and washing.

Whether the child is in crisis and at risk of harm or having a reflective conversation on the sofa, you will have all the tools you require to be able to listen without judgement, show empathy and offer support and practical ways to regulate behaviour and if needed, be confident in techniques to reduce harm to them, your colleagues and the home.

We don’t work on consequences or punishments, instead we work on positive reinforcement, restorative justice and working closely with the children so they feel safe and supported even at times of crisis.

You will be working in a residential home that’s receives a minimum of “Good” Ofsted rating with Outstanding in Leaderships in many of our homes. Your managers are hands on and lead by example, work alongside the rest of the team, advocate for our children and support their teams like they were family.

As a Therapeutic Residential Care Worker you will be working as part of a staff team within the home but also as part of the wider Residential Care team where you will work collaboratively across the different homes providing cover and support when needed; our whole-team approach means you broaden your experiences within different homes, build more relationships as you work with different people on shift and learn from all the subtle differences each home presents.

**Benefits**:
At YMCA Robin Hood Group, you will have many additional benefits, including but not limited to:

- Comprehensive well-being package
- Equivalent of 23 days annual leave increasing 1 day each year for your first 5 years (Plus bank holidays where a day in lieu will be offered for working on a bank holiday)
- Flexible bank holidays to take to celebrate the cultural and religious events important to you
- Private medical and dental cashback scheme
- Westfield Rewards for high street discounts
- External training to support Level 3, 4 & 5 Residential Care Diplom
