Acorns Children's Hospice are looking for a Children, Young Person and Family Support Assistant to join our Team in our Black Country Hospice, Walsall. Our Support Assistants support the collation of information to inform holistic needs assessments to meet the physical, social and mental wellbeing needs of children, young people and their families.
About The Role
At Acorns Children's Hospice we offer specialist palliative care and support for children and their families across the West Midlands. We are there wherever and whenever they need us, in the hospice, community and at home. Our aim at Acorns is to help families feel equipped to cope at every stage of their child's life with dedicated teams offering psychological, emotional and practical support.
As Children, Young Person and Family Support Assistant, you will:
- Provide direct support to children and young people through individual work or group sessions
- Provide signposting to enable the families to access the information and practical support required
- Participate in and facilitate support groups and family activity days
- Support the child or young person and their family before and following death
- Empower children, young persons and their families to make decisions about their care and to exercise choice
The role is as wide reaching as it is rewarding. You'll liaise extensively with external providers and experts across Acorns, supporting families from diverse cultural and social settings across the region. Some, you'll get to know over several years. Others could be suddenly admitted for an all-too-brief stay with us. Meeting their needs will be professionally invaluable and personally unforgettable.
Championing the needs of children with life-limiting conditions and their families is challenging and intense work. This role isn't for everyone, but, if you're looking for an engaging setting for the professional skills you've gained in the community, there is no better place than Acorns to work.
About You
- Experience of working with children, young people and/or families
- Holistic approach with good assessment skills
- Flexible and used to working on own initiative
We're driven by children's needs, so you should be able to travel independently across the region
What We Offer
- £26,000 to £27,000 per annum
- 37.5 hours per week (job share applications are welcome)
- Based in our Walsall Hospice (WS5 4NL)
- Employee discounts from leading retailers
- Employee gym discount scheme
- Bike-to-Work scheme
- Generous contribution to group personal pension plan or continuation of current NHS pension scheme
- NHS pension scheme life assurance or Acorns group life assurance scheme
You need to be eligible to work in the UK to be considered for this role. We are committed to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults and therefore any successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check for children and will be asked to provide two satisfactory references. In addition, candidates will be asked to provide evidence of immunisation against specific diseases or confirm their willingness to receive the necessary vaccinations.
As a UNICEF Gold Rights Respecting organisation, we are committed to ensuring that the United Nations Convention for the Rights of the Child is embedded into both culture and practice within the organisation. As an employee you will be a Duty Bearer for Children's Rights and support all children to be Rights Holders.
