Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom CareTech Group Full time

Are you a nurturing, empathetic, and inspiring individual seeking a rewarding career supporting children and adolescents?

About CareTech Group:

At CareTech Group, we pride ourselves on being a leading independent provider of care and education for children and young people. Our mission is to help everyone reach their personal best, including those we support and those who provide that support. You will join a dedicated and collaborative team, all committed to achieving the best outcomes for the children in our care.

Role Overview:

The daily responsibilities can vary greatly, and you may find yourself engaged in a range of activities from organizing recreational events to accompanying young people to appointments. We seek individuals who are flexible, dependable, and capable of assessing situations to guide our young people toward positive decisions.

Our team operates on a rotational schedule (averaging 169 hours per month for full-time positions), including sleep-in shifts based on the home's requirements.

  • Addressing the needs of children and young people in accordance with regulatory standards.
  • Facilitating and organizing various social activities, including community outings and occasional trips.
  • Assisting with the daily operations of the home, including laundry, housekeeping, shopping, meal preparation, and enjoyable activities like baking.
  • Participating in team meetings to share insights and best practices.
  • Collaborating closely with our clinical team and local authorities.

Qualifications and Experience:

We are looking for individuals with life skills; prior experience with children or in health and social care is advantageous but not essential, as we provide comprehensive training and support.

A full UK driving license is preferred due to the nature of the role, or candidates should be working towards obtaining one.

What We Offer:

  • A competitive starting salary of £12.54 per hour, based on qualifications.
  • £30 per sleep-in shift (2-3 shifts per week).
  • Enhanced overtime pay.
  • 224 hours of annual leave.
  • Opportunities for career development and qualifications.
  • Full enhanced DBS checks for children and adults, covered by CareTech Group.
  • A comprehensive 10-day induction training program, including both in-person and online learning.
  • 3-5 paid shadowing shifts with experienced support staff.
  • Guaranteed enrollment in an NVQ in Children and Young People's Workforce, a nationally recognized qualification fully funded by CareTech Group.
  • Free onsite parking and meals during shifts.
  • Company events, fundraising, and social activities.
  • Long service annual leave.
  • Referral bonuses for bringing in new team members.
  • Ongoing support and development opportunities from our leadership team.

Note: We do not provide work sponsorship.

Enhanced DBS and reference checks will be conducted in compliance with government regulations and best practices for safer recruitment. We strive to ensure that all young people receive fair and balanced support. CareTech Group employees are committed to promoting equal opportunities and challenging any discriminatory behavior.

We will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates as part of our safeguarding measures. This process is designed to ensure suitability for working with children, conducted by an impartial party to avoid bias.
