Ilford, United Kingdom Barnardo's Full time

**Liverpool Transition, Preparation and Moving-On Service - Children's Residential Home**

Barnardo's Transition, Preparation and Moving-On Service is looking for a residential worker for its 4 bed Children's home.

This is a service commissioned by Liverpool City Council to deliver Children's residential support in line with statutory requirements utilising therapeutic approaches. The service consists of one 4 bed Children's home.

The service aims to provide a nurturing environment within our high-quality home, which will meet the needs of children and young people who have experienced trauma, neglect, rejection, and whose basic needs have not been met.

The home offers our young people a safe space to enjoy themselves with activities such as karaoke, pamper, movie and games nights. Our young people are also encouraged to enjoy activities such as horse riding, going the cinema, indoor adventure parks, museums, theatre shows, youth clubs, fairs/theme parks i.e. Alton Towers, Blackpool and Southport.

We always ensure that our young people have the opportunity to enjoy at least one holiday/short break.

We support our young people to learn skills such as cooking meals and baking.

In line with Barnardo's EDI awareness and ethos, we take part in cultural theme nights once a month.

On top of that, Saturday is takeaway night, so you even get a night off from cooking

As a Transition home, our role is to support the young people in our care to either return back to their own families, move onto foster care, or move into semi-independence. The support we provide is vital in supporting our young people in their next chapter. You would play a huge part in this exciting role in changing the lives of our young people.

The home provides a truly therapeutically focussed environment that can meet the needs of young people who require support to manage their behaviours safely, develop their resilience and prepare them for the demands of future life with their own families or in other settings.

As a Residential Worker you will support the young people on a rota basis, covering the following:

- 3 on 4 off pattern across the year, with rotas completed at least one month in advance.
- Sleep ins - approximately 2 per month with an additional payment of approximately £68/sleep,
- Waking nights (approximately 2 per month)
- Opportunities to complete additional hours at an enhanced rate of pay.
- Some weekend working, on a rota basis
- Some bank holiday working - enhanced rates of pay for bank holiday working.

Designated days off are given following sleep ins and waking nights to promote wellbeing and recovery.

**Your role as a Residential Worker**:
You will engage with and support young people in all aspects of their lives, attending to their practical, physical, and emotional needs, whilst safeguarding each young person at all times.

You will support the rest of the team around the young people, acting in the capacity of a corporate parent. You will support young people to enhance their social opportunities by accessing hobbies & activities in the home and in the community. This could include supporting young people to access meals out/cinema/theatre/activity clubs etc and engage with fun nights in e.g. Movie/pamper/ games nights etc.

If you have experience of supporting young people who have experienced trauma, are passionate about the children in your care and can show understanding, tenacity, consistency of care and the ability to engage with a wide range of young people - this may be the opportunity for you
- For more specific role information please refer to the document below entitled **“PW1 Additional Info”**

**What you'll get from us**

In addition to the extensive organisational benefits identified below, you will receive:

- A full induction within our trauma informed charity,
- Ongoing comprehensive training package, including Therapeutic Crisis Intervention, to enable you to be equipped to fully support our young people.
- You will be part of a team supported by a Therapeutic Co-ordinator and will also receive reflective group/individual sessions with our consultant psychotherapist,
- Monthly practice focussed supervision,
- On successfully passing probation, enrolment on a fully funded residential Diploma

Quote from a young person who previously lived in the home:
**_ “ You've all really helped me become the person I am today. The amount of love you all put in, you all wanted the best for me. I'm going to miss the team of great people I have had around me”_**
