**About Empower**

We are a passionate and child focused company, striving to inspire and raise standards within the sector. Our mission is to empower care by working together and learning and leading.

**About the Role**

**Bank Childrens & Family Support Worker - Outreach Team**

**Empower Family Group**

**Flexible Working -** You get to pick and choose when you want to work

**Earn from £11.50 to £16 + training and holiday**

**Time and mileage paid for travelling to shifts/assignments.**

This exciting and flexible role involves working within Empowers highly regarded community outreach team covering Somerset, Devon and Bristol. You will be supporting children, families and carers within the community and in times of crisis, supporting with daily routines, providing mentor support and helping young people and families to work through challenges faced.

By joining our bank, you can also choose to work/ cover shifts in our Childrens Homes and support our Foster Carers, too, allowing you to experience a variety of different support roles and times and locations you choose.

This role is exciting and varied, you may be helping a baby or family in hospital, conducting supervised contact or supporting a young person build their confidence.

If you are looking for a more flexible working pattern, want to earn while you learn, or simply help boost your income for Christmas.. or perhaps you are saving up for a holiday, then this is the perfect job for you to do that. You can work hours that fit around your current commitments or even pick up some additional shifts to your main role to earn some extra cash.

We need resilient and passionate individuals who are adaptable and team players. To do this role you need to be kind and compassionate, but also not afraid of a challenge.

To make sure our children, young people and families are well cared for and supported, it’s important that you have worked with or have some experience of caring for children and or young people, before. However, don’t worry, we dont expect you to know everything, our team are friendly and supportive and will be with you every step of the way. Your first shift can be a shadow shift, too.

Our Bank roles are community-based roles, which means you’ll need to travel around to spend time with children, young people and their carers - or visiting the office. Therefore being able to drive and having access to a car is really helpful (we pay your expenses to cover the use for any mileage you have incurred when working - so dont worry)

Because our roles involve direct work with very vulnerable children and young people, when you join, you’ll need to have an Enhanced Check with the Disclosure and Barring Service. However, dont worry about the cost of this, because unlike other providers, well pay for this if you don’t have a transferable one We also pay for all your training, too Yipee.

**Requirements**:
