About the Role: Residential Childcare Support Worker

We are seeking compassionate and empowering Residential Child Care Support Workers to provide care and support for children and young people who are unable to live with their families. Our children and young people often have experienced adverse childhood experiences and trauma. We need individuals who understand these challenges and can confidently support them in recovering, growing, and flourishing.

We provide a safe and nurturing environment within our services and require caring and compassionate individuals who demonstrate these attributes in a challenging yet rewarding environment.

About Torrs Home

Torrs home is located in Castle Douglas and consists of six small cottages. The service provides nine medium to long-term placements for young people. It offers placements for children and young people who have social, emotional, and behavioral needs and may have experienced trauma.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Provide a safe and nurturing environment for the children in our care.
  • Support children with their daily living activities, including personal care, mealtimes, and homework.
  • Engage in positive interactions with children, promoting their emotional well-being and development.
  • Work collaboratively with other staff members to ensure a consistent and supportive environment.
  • Maintain accurate records and documentation related to the children's care.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary, including a sleepover allowance.
  • Full-time permanent contract.
  • Comprehensive induction program and ongoing training opportunities.
  • Support in achieving professional qualifications, such as an HNC in Social Care or SVQ level 3 in Care.
  • Employee assistance program and pension scheme.

Essential Requirements:

  • A sound understanding of the developmental needs and milestones for children and young people.
  • Ability to communicate, engage, and form positive relationships with children, parents, carers, and other professionals.
  • Ability to produce clear and concise written reports and records.
  • Valid manual driving licence.
