Lancashire, United Kingdom Hexagon Care Services Full time

Job Summary

Casual Residential Support Worker (Zero hour contract)

Hourly Rate: £12.83 - £13.15 per hour dependent on qualifications (Effective from 1st April 2024)

If you are interested in being a casual residential support worker in one of our homes, please complete an application form for this role. In the application form you will be asked about which home/area you are interested in applying at. Please note that we do not have homes across the entire country, so please check the below locations to check we have a home(s) in your area

Lancashire & Cumbria (Blackpool, Preston, Wigan/Leigh, Blackburn/Accrington, Burnley, Colne, Kendal, Low Bentham) Greater Manchester (Middleton, Ashton-Under-Lyne ) West Yorkshire (Leeds including Swillington, Knottingley, Ferrybridge, Wakefield) Lincolnshire (Holbeach) Midlands (Coventry, Nuneaton) Leicestershire (Hinckley) Cheshire (Congelton) Portishead (Bristol)

The duties of a Casual Residential Support Worker are no different from being a permanent Residential Support Worker, the only difference is the flexibility around your availability to work without having a set rota.

We are looking for casual residential support workers, who can offer a degree of flexibility and consistency with their availability. Who can support our homes when required including absences, annual leave and cover for staff training.

As a causal residential support worker, you will receive the same training, same induction and have the same opportunities as permanent staff, with the access to internal permanent positions within Hexagon Care that are not advertised externally should this is a career path you wish to explore. As a casual staff member, you will still be enrolled onto the Level 3 Diploma for Residential Childcare after 6 months working for Hexagon.

We understand casual staff are crucial to the success of our company and maintaining our excellent Ofsted results. We welcome passionate, hard-working, and committed role models to join our team. Many of the young people we support find difficulty building rapport with new adults in their life, so we are seeking casuals who can commit to some degree of longevity within the role and not just looking for a temporary stop gap in their employment. If you are looking for a temporary post for a short time frame unfortunately this will not be the role for you.

No two days will be the same supporting our young people to achieve their very best. You will have a varied array of tasks whilst on shift; everything from cooking & cleaning, taking part in activities and games, managing challenging behaviours and even putting your feet up watching TV with our Young People. We aim in our homes to create a positive, relaxed home environment where our young people in care feel safe, supported & listened to. You will be inducted by our industry leading, award winning learning & development team, and guided in your role by more senior staff members to establish appropriate boundaries, manage behaviours effectively and nurture the young people in your care towards positive futures.

As you’ve probably guessed this role isn’t a Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. Our homes work on shift patterns meaning there is always 24-hour support to the young people in the home. It is very rare we need staff to be awake during the night, so in 99% of cases, staff on shift will work during the day, sleep in the home at night, and hand over to colleagues in the morning. As a casual residential support worker, it’s likely you will be required to work some weekday evenings (usually 3pm/4pm to 10pm/11pm depending on the home) and to work 12 hour (9/10am to 9/10pm) weekend shifts

In some homes casual staff members are not required to sleep in at the home, but in other homes casual staff will do this. Sleep ins are paid at £45 per night.

Casual positions are an ideal starting point into the world of residential work for children. On your application form please stipulate your approximate availability. Having a full UK driving license is advantageous but not essential.

At Hexagon Care Services we have a commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of the young people in our care. We have an extensive onboarding process and may need to ask questions about any previous work you have done with children or vulnerable adults. All applicants must provide full employment history from aged 16 and detail any gaps in employment. We will pay for your DBS should you not have a suitable one already registered with the update service, and our friendly HR team can assist you with your onboarding should you be successful at interview.

All staff involved in the recruitment process are extensively trained in safer recruitment by The Safer Recruitment Consortium accredited trainers.
