Glasgow, United Kingdom CrossReach Full time

CrossReach Children's Disability Services, have been providing care and support for children & young people with a wide range of disabilities and additional support needs for 30 years. Helping them enjoy time away from home, where they can have independence, make friends, learn and grow and we are now looking for a Senior Children’s Worker to join our team to develop and grow our services and to help us make a change to the lives of those we support.

The Mallard is our residential short breaks service, and it enables children & young people to enjoy time away from home, taking part in a range of activities, making friends and developing their independence. Through a popcorn & movie night with a familiar film, playing a favourite game in the garden, or by providing the right sensory environment, our team works in partnership with families to create a home away from home experience based on the needs of the young person.

As Senior Children’s Worker, you will take a lead role with the team to provide care and support appropriate to the needs of the individual child or young person, planning and implementing activities to meet the individual needs and aspirations of the young people we support. This is a role where you will see the benefits of what you do and what you can bring every day.

This is a temporary role until the December 2024, at which point it will be reviewed.

At CrossReach we offer loving care to people of all ages who are in need of a helping hand, supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances.

We have been at the forefront of high quality social care for 150 years. During that time we have worked hard to understand the needs of the people who turn to us for help and with them have been at the forefront of pioneering services which have literally changed thousands of lives for the better.

Today we are one of the largest care providers in Scotland, with experience across a broad range of services. We are still growing, learning and improving, thanks to the incredible people we have the privilege to support, and all those who support us.

CrossReach is a part of the Church of Scotland, with a remit to provide social care services and specialist resources in Christ’s name to further the caring work of the Church to people in challenging circumstances.

As we do our work in Christ’s name the job you have applied for requires you to have a Christian faith and be able to work within and uphold our Christian Ethos. This is an Occupational Requirement under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.

This post requires you to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and undertake the necessary vetting checks. You will also be required to be registered with SSSC and it is your professional responsibility to ensure that you meet the standards and criteria for registration.

We have a legal obligation to ensure that it does not employ any worker who has not been granted the relevant permission to work in the UK. This permission is without exception granted by UK Visas and Immigrations.
