About Break:

Break is a forward-thinking non-profit organisation that’s delivered unique support for young people across East Anglia for over fifty years. Co-production with staff, young people and families is at the very heart of everything we do. Nobody chooses the family or circumstances they are born into. At Break we firmly believe that with the right care, there is no limit to what can be achieved.

We have a range of residential services, a fostering agency, Staying Close, Staying Connected and services for disabled children and their families.

As a trauma-informed organisation, all our young people and employees are supported by our highly skilled therapeutic team - and our lifelong offer means that even when young people leave our care, we will always be there for them.

We have low staff turnover and vacancy rates. All of our services are rated good or outstanding and deliver great outcomes for our young people. Our ambition is to grow and build even further - creating an environment where people can develop their talent and see the difference they make. You could be part of this.

Why Break?

At Break we invest in the future of our staff just as we do for the young people in our services. We strive to provide the highest quality of care, so whether you’re just starting your career in children’s social care or are already qualified, you’ll be supported, recognised and rewarded for your essential part in our vital work.

About the role:

As a Break support worker you’ll be working hands-on day in day out with the young people living in the children’s home.

The first twelve months of your time at Break will see you build relationships with the young people we care for and support in our homes. Day to day you may find yourself planning and taking part in trips and activities and learning new skills to help young people overcome communication difficulties.

Every milestone in our disability services is celebrated and treasured. We can’t promise every day will be easy, but we can promise the sense of pride you’ll feel for the young people you support and care for.

You’ll need to be an excellent team player who is warm, caring, calm and resilient enough to cope with the complex emotional and behavioural needs of the young people we support.

You will need to successfully complete an NVQ Level 3 in Residential Childcare before you complete 24 months of Support Work.  This will be fully funded by Break and you will be supported by our training team.

Please note that you must have a full, valid, manual driving licence.

In your role, you’ll have access to the following benefits:

• Free, career-enhancing qualifications

• A “golden hello” scheme welcoming you to our services, with £500 paid to you one month after your start date and a second £500 at the six-month mark.  (Not available to candidates referred by recruitment agencies) (Subject to conditions)

• A referral scheme offering the same two payments as the golden hello if you recommend a contact who goes on to be employed by Break in care services. (subject to conditions)

• 31 days annual leave per year (including bank holidays)

• Annual leave purchase

• Additional service-related holiday from 2 years

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

• Company funded medical cash plan

• Enhanced sick pay and family friendly leave

• Pension salary sacrifice

• Life assurance to the value of 3x your annual salary

• Access to the Blue Light benefits platform enabling you to access discounts across a range of shops, venues and services (your membership fee will be reimbursed)

• Access to multiple Wellbeing initiatives

• The opportunity to influence Break’s strategy and direction through our Staff Consultation Forum

• Cycle to Work and Tech scheme

• And more
