Casual Residential Worker

2 weeks ago

Wakefield, United Kingdom Wakefield Council Full time

You will support two children in a lovely home supported by a team of 6 colleagues.

We are seeking to appoint suitably skilled, motivated and caring Children’s Residential Worker, casual work with children and young people aged between 9 to 17 years of age.

There are times when children and young people in care require additionalsupport to manage complex trauma.

Placements of a warm, supportive and have a homely feel are hard to find, and this can result in multiple placement breakdowns before a suitable placement that can contain risk and manage social and emotional needs is found. The result of this leads to young people who are most vulnerable being placed a long way from home and not always achieving the best outcomes. We provide loving homes for children to remain in Wakefield and only receive the best possible care.

These posts require enthusiastic and self-motivated individuals with good communication skills. You will need to be organised and confident in interactions with children and young people.

You will hold a NVQ3 / Diploma in caring for children and young people, or be willing to work to achieve this qualification following appointment within two years. 

Effective Induction, supervision, and training will be provided to all staff.

The work involves shift patterns, including weekends, sleep in, waking nights and Bank Holidays.
