Enfield, United Kingdom Barnardo's Full time

Do you enjoy working with children and young people and are you motivated to support them to achieve positive outcomes?

Do you want to work for a well-established national charity who believe in children and young people?

Are you ready for a change in career or your next opportunity?

We provide 24/7 residential services to the UK's most vulnerable children and young people and believe a child's future should never be defined by their past. Every child has the right to a fulfilling life, to realise their potential and to have a positive future.

The children and young people we care for have experienced trauma that can lead them to display challenging behaviours in an effort to communicate with those around them. They require care from a reliable, committed, passionate and skilled staff team. This will support them to develop trusting relationships which provide the time and space to explore their past experiences, behaviours and current situation.

Our aim is to create a secure, safe and nurturing environment for children and young people to be able to explore and understand their identities, whilst promoting and developing confidence and self-esteem. We are aspirational for our children and young people and actively support them to attend and access education and employment opportunities and to develop their independence skills. We also support them to continue with and develop relationships with family and peers where appropriate.

Staff are enabled to provide a high level of care and support to children and young people through regular and ongoing training opportunities. Staff are ambitious for the children and young people we care for and are passionate and committed to ensure they experience good quality care that is individual to them and positively prepares them for adulthood.

**As a Support Worker, you will**:

- Be able to engage and develop positive relationships with children and young people.
- Be able to support children and young people with activities in the home. This includes engaging them in hobbies and interests, accompanying them out in the community and on day trips.
- Support children and young people to achieve their everyday goals with patience and positivity.
- Be resilient and help manage behaviours that challenge, supporting them to reflect and learn when these present.
- Empower children and young people and facilitate their active involvement in the decision making about their life and their future.
- Advocate for them and ensure their voices are heard.

**Requirements for this position are**:

- Level 3/4 Children & Young People Workforce Social Care or Residential Child Care qualification (or willing to undertake this training within 2 years).
- Understanding of the needs and presenting behaviours of children and young people who have experienced trauma.
- Able to work on a rota pattern to include evenings and weekends.

**Benefits**:

- Barnardo's believe in creating equality of opportunity in the workplace and supporting people to manage their work-life balance; we are therefore open to offering flexible working arrangements.
- 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing after 5 years service
- The ability to buy up to another 5 days annual leave via our HolidayPlus scheme
- A host of family friendly leave options including company Maternity Paternity and Adoption pay; together with all family additional leave options
- Service related sick pay from day 1
- Access to a Group Personal Pension with a matched 4% or 6% contribution from Barnardo's. Ability to pay via salary sacrifice to garner both tax and NI savings on your own contribution
- Death in service cover of 4x annual earnings for all staff contributing to our Group Personal Pension
- Cycle2work scheme
- Interest free season ticket loans
- Discounts and cashback from at high street shops including major supermarkets, cinemas, gyms, leisure/theme parks, holidays and much more via our Benefit Portal
- Opportunity to purchase a health cash plan to claim towards dental, glasses, therapy etc
- Free access to round the clock employee assistance program for advice and support
- Access to Barnardo's Corporate University
