Are you looking for a part time role, for 2-3 shifts a week on evenings (4.15pm-8.15pm) and weekends (12pm-8pm)?

Would you love a rewarding role, supporting a child with complex health needs in his family home?

Come and join Active Assistance.

We'd like you to join us as a Children's Support Worker to care for our young client in Redruth.

What you'll be doing:

This role is to support a wonderful 11 year old boy with complex clinical health needs in his own home, where he lives with his family and dogs. Our clients’ needs include learning disabilities, PEG feed, challenging behaviour, non-verbal, epilepsy and he wears splints. We will provide full specialist training and shadow shifts.

This is a rewarding role where you can work with one child, enhancing his life every week. It is also a great opportunity to enhance your clinical skills.

Shifts:

• Approx 2-3 shifts a week available, plus additional shifts to cover sickness/annual leave

In this role, you’ll support one individual with complex needs as part of a consistent care team, with regular weekly shifts and rotas planned in advance. While the role is offered on a flexible zero-hours contract, the work is ongoing and typically provides a stable working pattern with the same client.

What we can offer you:

• Up to £13.50 per hour (depending on experience) - you’ll also receive an additional 14.07% holiday pay on every hour worked
• Excellent Induction Training and specialist training
• Ongoing support from our Children's Care Manager
• Advanced monthly rotas
• Paid DBS Check
• We recognise outstanding Active Behaviours via the Active Awards programme
• Refer a Friend Scheme and earn yourself up to £1000 by recommending someone you know
• ……and, of course, the support and guidance of our qualified clinical and business leadership teams so that you can really develop your career with Active Assistance.

At Active Assistance we want everyone to feel welcome and supported. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences. If you need any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment or interview process, just let us know and we’d be very happy to discuss this with you.
