Folkestone, United Kingdom Compass Children's Homes Full time

Are you an experienced Residential Worker or Youth Worker, or do you have no experience but are looking to build a career in residential care? We need determined, resilient people to be long lasting, significant adults in a child’s life.

With our structured pay-scales and clear career progression paths, we can support you with the training and experience to develop into a Senior Residential Support Worker, Deputy Manager or Residential Manager. We know that children benefit from having consistent, long-term adults in their lives, therefore your career progression, happiness and wellbeing is paramount to us.

Compass Homes are built around accepting a child as they are in a non-judgemental way. You will teach them to build self-esteem and accept themselves, helping their journey into adulthood.

**What makes us different?**
- **Compass make houses, homes** - We invest heavily in ensuring homes are beautifully decorated, allowing children to express their characters, feel safe and enrich their lives.
- **Generous budgets devoted to children** - Each of our homes are given substantial investment to allow for all children to really experience a childhood, including holidays abroad, recreational activities and special events.
- **Direct therapeutic work with children - **We aim to provide all children with therapy, driven by industry leading psychologists and practise. This will include therapeutic training for all staff.
- **Bespoke systems **- Spend more time working directly with children rather than duplicating reports with our bespoke, time saving incident reporting system.
- **Skills to Care Induction** - All new starters complete 2 separate weeks of classroom based training and a week of shadow shifts to best prepare them for the new role.

**Perks we offer**
- **Competitive Salary (OTE, inc £50 sleep-ins**) - We used structured pay grades, so salary is based on your training and experience so that you are always paid fairly.

- **Discounts & Awards** - Access to our health and wellbeing support platform. Receive cashback for various medical and wellbeing appointments and treatments with our MediCash scheme, as well as the chance to win up to £150 in vouchers every month from our REACH Awards.
- **Life Assurance Scheme** - 3 x annual salary after successful completion of your probation review.
- **Health and Wellbeing Day** - Additional day’s leave to support your mental health.
- **Increased Holiday**:

- 224 hours holiday increasing gradually to 248 hours after 4 years’ service.
- **Recommendation Payments** - Earn up to £3,250 by recommending a foster carer or up to £1,000 by recommending a full-time staff member.

**What will I do as a Residential Support Worker?**
- Using your experience and skills - further developed with our support and training, you will assist with the care of our children and young people.
- All of our homes adopt therapeutic practise, giving you the opportunity to develop into a specialist care provider. Training also includes reflective practise to consistently improve the way we care for children.
- You will create positive relationships with the children, meeting their needs and safeguarding them at all times.
