Keyworker for Children and Young People with Learning Disabilities and Autism

1 month ago


Ilford, Greater London, United Kingdom Barnardos Full time

We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Keyworker to join our team in Greater Manchester. As a Keyworker, you will provide crucial support to children, young people with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism, and their families as part of the NHS Long Term Plan.

Covering the Greater Manchester area, it is essential to hold a valid UK driving licence with access to your own vehicle. You will work as part of a team to prevent - where possible - children and young people from requiring an inpatient admission or placement.

As a Keyworker, you will have passion and commitment when delivering quality support within the family home, placement, or inpatient setting. You will work closely with health and social care partners to provide the right support, at the right time, in the right way.

The service has a comprehensive training offer, including core competencies through to bespoke training. To be a successful Keyworker, you will need to have the following:

  • Experience in supporting children with Learning Disabilities or Autism
  • The ability to ensure the 'voice' of the child and family is central, enabling lived experience to create change
  • Excellent team working skills
  • Safeguarding knowledge
  • Good IT and recording skills

This is a new service, and there are lots of opportunities to develop your skill set, knowledge, and career progression going forward. You will support in homes and the community and attend meetings with professionals and families to ensure excellent communication, a shared understanding, and a team approach.

We aim to provide the right support, at the right time, in the right way. You may work by yourself or alongside colleagues depending on the support needed.

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work, and creativity of our people.

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive, and progressive. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive, and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.

We believe in creating equality of opportunity in the workplace and supporting people to manage their work-life balance; we are therefore open to offering flexible working arrangements.

We offer a range of benefits, including 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing after 5 years service, and access to a Group Personal Pension with a matched 4% or 6% contribution from Barnardo's.
