Middlesbrough, United Kingdom Middlesbrough Council Full time

We’re looking for a Children’s Residential Support Worker to join our ever-growing team in a short breaks service for children with disabilities. You'll be a role model and mentor and play a key part in the support system for children who have experienced significant trauma. You'll play a vital role in helping them build healthy relationships and discover the benefits of education. It's tough, it's challenging but it's incredibly rewarding.

Applications are invited who have appropriate experience and have a professional approach to carry out all aspects of personal and direct care in supporting children with various disabilities. You will be introducing children to new activities and supporting them to be as independent as possible. Some of the children we work with have difficulty forming relationships, following routines, and accepting boundaries and can display challenging behaviour.

We'll look to you to:

Plan and provide child-centred cultural, physical, play and recreational activities.

Think creatively about and contribute to effective care planning.

Provide appropriate therapeutic relationships with the children.

Develop your understanding of therapeutic childcare practice.

Monitor the care and treatment of your assigned children within the household.

We work to a flexible working rota 365 days of the year including long days, sleep shifts, waking nights.

You're not just part of a team, you're part of our family. Support echoes through every part of our community, and your colleagues are always here to lend a hand or share a smile. We also offer the following benefits to make your journey with us even more rewarding:

Sleep-in allowances which mean you could earn up to £4k more annually.

Paid overtime (based on operational requirements).

Generous annual leave in addition to bank holidays with the ability to buy additional leave annually.

A comprehensive range of informal and formal wellbeing support.

Excellent employer contribution pension.

Access to Vivup employee benefits.

Access to electric car lease scheme.

Access to a wide range of training, learning and development.

A full induction programme including 80 hours shadowing period, induction booklet and regular supervision/probation.

Salary benefits include double time for bank holidays, time, and a half for Sunday hours, 0.33 extra for waking nights, £87.54 for a sleep.

Sick pay.

Free flu jabs.

What’s more, we’re deeply invested in your professional growth and development. As part of your role, you’ll have the opportunity to complete a fully accredited and funded Diploma for residential care level3/4.

We're looking for someone who embodies resilience, empathy, and a deep commitment to making a positive impact. Someone who can believe in the untapped potential of these children when others have given up. Drawing on your life experiences, you can provide valuable guidance and support to help them thrive. You'll also need:

Staff to have a willingness to work towards or hold the recognised NVQ 4 or QCF diploma in working with children and young people in Residential care, or equivalent relevant Children’s Residential work.

Staff have a willingness to complete or to hold the recognised HSC 375 medication or equivalent.

Desire to undertake further education / training.

Training or qualifications that demonstrate a clear ability to communicate effectively and think critically.

A valid and Full UK Driving Licence.

The legal right to live and work in the UK.

At Middlesbrough Council we are passionate about the children of Middlesbrough. We believe that with support and opportunities, children can overcome challenges and shape their future. We see their untold stories, possibilities, dreams, and untapped potential and we believe in their ability to rewrite their destiny.
