Cranleigh, United Kingdom CV-Library Full time

Care Worker in a Children’s Home

Location: Cranleigh

Salary: £22,697 - £23,508 per annum (based on 37 hours over 52 weeks, on a 4 week rota)

St Joseph's Specialist Trust are a non-maintained specialist school, college and children’s home working with complex, challenging and vulnerable children and young people.

The Role

They are looking for dedicated care workers to join their team on a permanent basis. You will support young people with complex learning disabilities, severe social communication and behavioural issues. This role gives you the opportunity to make a real difference to their lives. With your compassion, guidance and training, you will watch them grow, develop and support them towards adulthood.

The care team support their young people outside of school hours and also provide cover in the classroom enabling their education staff to take their breaks. You will support their students to develop their life skills; assisting with their personal care, choosing and preparing their meals, shopping, money handling and accompanying activities on and off site. During the school holidays their young people really enjoy trips off site, fully supported by their team, including trips to the beach and funfair, adventure parks, meals out, inclusive cycling sessions and Airhop.

You will have the ongoing support of a skilled and dedicated team. Comprehensive training and mentoring includes leaning about safeguarding, autism and positive behaviour support. They will equip you with the skills and confidence to support their young people, offer them boundaries and choices and provide safe and effective physical intervention when needed.

You will need to be able to work 37 hours per week in a 4-week shift pattern including alternate weekends and undertake sleep in duties as required (and will be paid the appropriate rate for sleep-in shifts). There might be openings for staff interested in only working weekends and part-time evenings & weekends dependent on current staffing - this could be discussed but not guaranteed to be an option (they cannot accommodate term time or day time only weekday shifts as the young people are in school then).

You will progress to a Senior Care Worker level after 2 years working on the care team and completion of a QCF Level 3 in Residential Childcare (subject to satisfactory progression and appraisal), earning £22,772 - £25,012.

If recruited, you will be required to complete Team Teach positive behaviour support training as part of your induction before employment.

Skills and Qualifications

You don’t need experience. You need empathy, enthusiasm, compassion, mental, physical and emotional resilience and the drive to make a real difference to the lives of the most complex children and vulnerable young people.
