Job description
Job Title: Support Worker
Agency: Caretech
Location: Haigh, WN1 1AZ
Salary/Rate: £12.89 to £13.31 per hour
Children’s Residential Support Worker Part Time
UK manual driving licence is essential.
For over 20 years, ROC Northwest has held an enviable reputation for offering high-quality residential care and education for children and young people who have lived with adverse childhood experiences and may also experience conditions such as Autism, Social, Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties (SEBD), and complex needs. We are looking to recruit positive and caring people to support the children and young people in our residential homes, where we encourage a truly family-like environment.
- Supporting our children in all aspects of their daily lives
- You’ll help them to develop and maintain positive relationships with friends and family
- Encourage social activity by attending events and social activities, helping to boost their confidence and independence
- Developing the relationship you have with them so you can be the one who makes the difference
- Safeguarding our children is crucial, and you’ll monitor and report any suspicion or evidence of harm, making sure care plans are followed and updated
- When the children are not in the home, you will be expected to undertake basic housekeeping duties where required
Other duties may include activities such as watching a movie with the children, reading with them, getting involved in crafts, going on days out, maybe trying your hand at a games console, or simply taking walks to keep active and blow the cobwebs away. We’re always open to other fun activities you might have in mind, too. All this is done in a genuine family feel environment, and this is key to success in this role. We always promote a fun and love-led home setting where you’ll want to join in and have fun too.
We have a friendly and supportive team ready to welcome you to the best job you’ve had yet. All you need to do is bring the enthusiasm to support our service users and to take pride in being part of our family.
- Experience in a similar role or personal life experience is required; maybe you have supported a friend or family member
- A full UK manual driving licence
- People who have the desire to put others first and to go home with a sense of pride in their day and what they’ve achieved
- A Children’s Residential Level 3 qualification is desirable and offers the higher rate, but it is not essential
- Flexibility to work day shifts e.g., 8am to 10pm, and sleep-ins from 10pm to 7am, meaning you’ll be away from home for a few days at a time
- These are rotating shifts, so your shift will fall on a weekend occasionally
- A starting rate of £12.36 to £13.31 per hour, depending on qualifications and location
- £78.30 for every Sleep-in you do; full-time staff can expect up to 8 Sleeps per month, which can add up to over £7500 a year
- Comprehensive training, including a two-week paid induction, followed by shadow shifts with a senior member of staff to chase away any nerves
- We will fund a nationally recognised Level 3 qualification in Children’s Residential Care, which is worth around £3000 and will result in a higher hourly rate
- £500 Welcome Bonus once you have completed the probation period
- £1000 Refer A Friend scheme if you introduce someone to us and they join our team
- You will complete your hours over fewer days, leaving you with more days off per week than a Monday to Friday
- Free onsite parking and free meals on shift
- Career development to Team Leader, Deputy Manager, and even Registered Manager, if this is a career path you would like to explore
- Company pension scheme and staff recognition awards
- Free Enhanced DBS check, of course
- Friendly, passionate, and caring
- Positive, pleasant, and approachable
- Empowering others to become stronger and more confident in their lives
- Person Centred; allowing our children to explore & utilise their own strengths
- Innovative; by using or introducing new engagement methods and ideas
Safeguarding Statement
