Castle Douglas, Dumfries and Galloway, United Kingdom CareTech Group Full time
About the Role

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 have often been subject to adverse childhood experiences and trauma. We are looking for individuals who have a good understanding of the difficulties and challenges that children may face and have the confidence and ability to support them to recover, grow and flourish.

We provide children with a safe and nurturing environment within our services, and need caring and compassionate individuals who can demonstrate these attributes within a challenging yet rewarding environment.

About the Service

Torrs home is located in the town of Castle Douglas and consists of six small cottages. The service provides nine medium to long-term placements for young people.

The service offers placements for children and young people who have social, emotional and behavioural needs and who may have experienced trauma. Our staff will be appropriately qualified and registered in accordance with SSSC regulations, or working towards this.

A regular programme of training, supervision and appraisal will be maintained. The service operates a rota system and staff are on site at all times. In addition to this, the house manager is available in the service as supernumerary.

Benefits
  • We provide a range of specialist training programmes and invest in your professional development.
