Are you looking for a new challenge? Do you enjoy working with children & their families to achieve positive outcomes? We have an exciting opportunity to join our Family Residential Centre as a Senior Residential Support Worker, on a full-time permanent basis.

Location of the post: Market Harborough, Leicestershire.

Service Overview: Barnardo's, the UK's largest Children's Charity are currently on an exciting and innovative Journey alongside Leicestershire County Council to deliver a range of Children's homes for the most vulnerable children & young people in Leicestershire.

Welland House has 3 self-contained flats with the capacity to house up to 3 families at any one time. Families utilising this type of service may include parents with moderate to high learning needs, those presenting with issues around domestic violence, and or substance/alcohol misuse. Additionally, they may have experienced mental ill health and/or trauma.  During their stay, the parents will be supported in their parenting by Barnardo's staff, whilst being assessed by Leicestershire County Council Children's Service.

The Welland House team is supportive in its approach, with our primary aim revolving around promoting best practices, through guidance, role modelling, key work sessions and practical advice on matters relating to concerns, risk, safety, routines, and boundaries. 

Some of the responsibilities of the role include but are not limited to:

To build trust and develop nurturing relationships which promote the service user's independence, wellbeing, strengths, and capabilities. To work in partnership and build relationships with parents/carers and other professionals. To lead and support the Residential Support Workers in their day-to-day duties. To contribute to the upkeep of the home including cooking, cleaning etc. To document information accurately and ensure records are kept up to date. To ensure safeguarding policies and procedures are adhered to. To promote, monitor and maintain a safe environment at all times.

Essential requirements to evidence in your written application:

Must hold a Level 3 qualification relevant to Residential Childcare OR be willing to complete this in the required timeframe. At least 1 years supervisory and shift leader experience in a setting supporting families. Ability to demonstrate a good understanding of safeguarding policies and procedures. Flexibility to commit to shift work, including weekends and bank holidays. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Whilst Welland House will be your base location, you must be flexible to travel throughout the locality to support our other homes should the need arise. These are located in Hinckley, Coalville and Syston. 

When completing your application please refer to your skills knowledge and experience in relation to the Person Specification, Job Description and Additional Information document. This should be done with an understanding of the context of the service described.

Please note due to the high volume of applications for some posts, this advert might close before the displayed closing date. We recommend that you apply for this role as soon as possible.

Pay & Reward Framework

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's . We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people. 

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay. 

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
