Chesterfield, United Kingdom Derbyshire County Council Full time

The Outback is a resource within Derbyshire County Council’s Children with Disabilities Service which is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

**Residential Childrens Worker at The Outback**

**About the role**

The requirements of the role of an RCW within The Outback are varied and a summary of some of the typical tasks and duties of the post are included below. The service generally covers the North of the county which is a large area that extends from Glossop in the north to South Normanton in the south, and from Shirebrook across into the Derbyshire Dales in the west. There are many occasions however when we are required to support families in the South of the county also. Much of the work of The Outback is undertaken in the family homes of the children, their schools or local communities. Therefore, it is essential that applicants are confident to travel around the county and are also able to transport young people as required.

Focused work - These are bespoke support packages which are agreed with allocated social workers in order to support specific targets that are identified through safeguarding or child in need plans. The worker will work with the children and family carers, offering support and advice to achieve the identified targets. This could include the development of Positive Behaviour Support, supporting parenting skills, bedtime routines, developing communication systems, family relationships, developing interaction through play and leisure activities. Other work may include supporting introductions/transitions to other resources and services.

Working with young people to offer support at The Outback or in the local community - This can include 1:1 or 2:1 work with young people with complex needs, this will often be with young people who present high levels of challenging or distressed behaviour.

To support residential settings across the county as and when required. This may be to support the transition of a young person into the service or to maintain staffing cover during times of staff shortage.

**Please note**:Although we are part of short break services for children with disabilities in Derbyshire, we are not a residential provision, therefore do not routinely do sleep in duties (although this may be a possibility if supporting the residential provisions during crisis).**
