WestonsuperMare BS, United Kingdom Utopia Children's Services Ltd Full time £12,210 - £25,000 per year

At Utopia we are passionate about caring for and supporting our young people to help them succeed. We do this by providing the highest standard of care in our Homes, making sure it is a stable, compassionate and calm environment to allow our young people to feel confident enough to make positive choices.

Our Homes

We now have three homes in Weston Super Mare - we are looking for ideal candidates to join our existing experienced teams.

Ferndale house is a 3 bed home providing medium to long-term care. Ferndale House is a large detached house situated on a private drive with views reaching the Severn Bridge.

Oakley House is a 3 bed home providing medium to long-term care. Oakley House is a spacious semi-detached house a short walk from both the town centre and the beach and is situated on a residential road.

We have recently opened a third home in Weston, Leleka House, which again is a spacious semi-detached house, a short walk away from Oakley House.

Our Young People

Our young people are between the ages of 8 and 18. They come to live with Utopia for a number of reasons and this may include neglect and trauma. They struggle with emotions and challenging behaviour - they need care, understanding, support and stability from us so they are able to confidently take their next step in life.

You and Utopia

We are seeking Relief Residential Support workers to join our team. You must be enthusiastic about young people and providing the highest quality of care for them.

Relief staff are valued members of our teams and will be provided with all the necessary training and support required, including supervisions and invitations to the monthly Team Meetings. Whilst working, Relief staff will always be supported by a senior member of staff and the Manager of the home.

Several of our staff members have started working for us as relief staff , so whilst this advert is predominately for relief staff, there may be future opportunities for relief staff to be offered a permanent position.

Qualifications & Skills

Some recording duties are required, and candidates must therefore have basic computer literacy skills.

Whilst experience in Children's Residential Homes is appreciated, Relief staff will be focused solely on the young people, and therefore, real life and parenting experience is important.

Successful candidates must hold a valid driving licence.

Benefits & Further Information

This is a relief position. Hours will be offered to successful candidates who will decide which they would like to work. All shifts are overnight (not waking nights) and will include weekends and Bank Holidays.

Under the terms of the Children's Homes Regulations, due to the ages of the young people we are registered to care for, all applicants must be at least 23 years of age.

We offer a competitive hourly rate of £12.21. An additional £60 will be paid for any sleep-ins.

Pre-employment Checks

All employees will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check (Paid for by Utopia) and will need to provide references.
