We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Residential Support Specialist to join our team at the Kent County Councils Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking (UAS) Childrens Service. This is an exciting opportunity to work with newly arrived unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in Kent, providing them with accommodation and support as they take their first steps in their journey to a more permanent home elsewhere in the UK.
The UAS Childrens Service leads on social work practice with unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in Kent, which Ofsted recognises as Outstanding. We are developing as a centre of excellence for social work practice nationally and are seeking individuals who are committed to ensuring children are protected and supported.
This role involves managing routines, setting goals for young people, timekeeping, and facilitating a learning culture in the centre. You will be required to work across a rolling shift pattern, with weekly alternating shifts, and regular cover over weekends.
As a Residential Support Specialist, you will have experience of working with children and thrive on direct work and providing support in a residential setting. You will need strong communication skills, be innovative, and passionate about your work. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and influence the resettlement of children in the UK who have suffered trauma and change.
The Reception and Safe Care Services are Kent County Council owned, Ofsted regulated, childrens homes and supported accommodation, collectively termed Reception Centres. Our diverse team of managers and workers are all committed to ensuring children are protected and supported to take the first steps in their journey to a more permanent home elsewhere in the UK.
We offer a competitive salary between £26,515 and £28,850, annual leave allowance of 27 days (29 days after 5 years service), relocation packages up to £8,000, excellent local government pension scheme, opportunities to develop in your career, and the chance to develop knowledge in niche areas of social work and expand your skills of working with children seeking asylum.
