**About The Role**:
Want to work in a children’s home that makes a positive, lasting difference to children’s lives? Compass Children’s Homes are largely rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted and are looking for people like you to join our brilliant team.

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

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.

**Your day-to-day responsibilities as a Sessional Support Worker will include**:
Your job role as a sessional support worker will involve you working closely with children in care with you putting them at the centre of everything you do. Your day-to-day role will require you to support them in all aspects of their lives such as educational pursuits, hobbies, and activities.
- Using your experience and skills (further developed with our support and training), you will assist with the care of our children and young people.
- You will create positive relationships with the children, meeting their needs and always safeguarding them.
- You will create timetables, setting boundaries and expectations for the young people. Consistency and organisation skills are key.
- You will meet a variety of children and young people, some of whom may require high levels of supervision and support. They may also require your guidance within education, training, and employment.

**What makes us different?**

You will be part of the compass community of over 30 homes, you will be supported in your day-to-day job role by a friendly and supportive management team. We will supply you with extensive and relevant training to support you and ensure your career development.
- **We make a house a home** - We invest heavily in ensuring homes are beautifully decorated and looked after, so children can 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. This includes 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 **- You’ll spend more time working directly with children rather than duplicating reports and paperwork with our bespoke, time saving incident reporting system.
- **Detailed and supportive training **- We give you a ‘Skills to Care’ induction. All new starters complete 2 separate weeks of classroom-based training as well as a week of shadow shifts to best prepare you for your new role.

**Why work for Compass Children’s Homes?**
- Compass knows how to make a house, a home. We understand that a home can embody how we live and see ourselves. Our teams create a home environment that exceeds the children's needs, allowing them to express their characters, feel safe and enrich their lives. We pride ourselves on giving children who experience behavioural and emotional difficulties the highest quality care and substitute parenting.
- As well as the children, Compass strives to look after you. We will supply excellent support and professional supervision as well as regular training opportunities and the chance to undertake further qualifications. We are committed to staff retention, development and equality.
