Job description

ARC / Edge of Care Support Worker

Cardiff

£13.47 per hour PAYE (holidays paid on top)

OR £17.64 Umbrella company

Cardiff Council and the Vale of Glamorgan Council are working together to provide an innovative new Adolescent Resource Centre (ARC) / Edge of Care Service for 11-17 year olds. Taking a strength-based approach, our aim is to work co-productively with families to improve relationships and enable young people to remain living within their family home.

The ARC has been delivering services to young people who require intensive interventions and access to therapeutic interventions across Cardiff for the last three years. As a result of this success, alongside an increase in need and regional funding, the Service is expanding to become a Regional Edge of Care Service, which will operate across two locations in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.

As part of this Service, you will be working within Cardiff’s experienced team providing flexible and responsive care packages of respite, intervention, outreach, and family support.

You will be working with young people across Cardiff at their homes and at our centres at a time of need delivering positive outcomes. You will provide structured, evidence-based interventions enabling families to develop problem-solving skills, resilience, and achieve positive change. You and the team will provide a rapid response to children and families in crisis, enabling them to address and overcome the difficulties that have led to the family being at risk of breakdown and prevent further escalation.

As a Support Worker, you will have some experience of working with adolescents who present with challenging behaviour, and you will have experience in working with carers and as part of a wider team. You will be working flexibly, which includes some evenings and weekends.

Driving license and full use of a car is essential. An Enhanced Child and Adult DBS is needed.
