Job Description:

Are you a positive, caring and compassionate role model looking for an exciting, new career opportunity providing invaluable support to children and young people?

About us:

We are Cambian Group, the largest independent provider of care and education for children and young people. We believe that everyone has a personal best. Those we care for and those who care for them. You will find that you are part of a close, supportive team, all focused on achieving the best outcome for everyone.

About the role:

The working day can be very unpredictable and you could find yourself doing a variety of duties such as organising activities or attending parental appointments. We are looking for people who are flexible, reliable, and adaptable, able to read situations to help our young people make positive choices.

We work on a rota basis (average hours a month full time) plus sleep-ins depending on the size of the home.

• You’ll meet the needs of the Children and Young People in line with OFSTED regulations.
• You’ll help organise and facilitate social activities with our young people, such as days out, community work, and occasional holidays.
• You’ll assist in daily tasks like laundry, housekeeping, shopping, meal prep, and fun activities like baking.
• You’ll attend team meetings to share ideas and best practices.
• You’ll work closely with our clinical team and local authorities.

Qualifications/Experience/Requirements:

Experience with children or in health and social care is beneficial but not essential, as full training and support will be provided.

Ideally, you’ll have a full UK driving licence or be working towards one.

What we can offer:

• £30 sleep-in rate (2-3 sleep-ins per week)
• Overtime paid at an enhanced rate
• Hours of annual leave per year
• Career-enhancing qualifications and clear progression pathways
• Full enhanced children’s and adults DBS paid for by Cambian Group
• 10-day paid intensive induction training course, including face-to-face and online learning
• 3-5 paid shadowing shifts with experienced staff
• Opportunity to enroll in NVQ Children and Young People’s Workforce qualification, fully funded by Cambian Group
• Free onsite parking and meals during shifts
• Long service annual leave
• Refer a friend scheme
• Ongoing support and development opportunities from leadership

Requirements for DBS and reference checks will be undertaken in line with regulations. We conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates as part of safeguarding checks, ensuring fairness and non-discrimination. All employees are responsible for promoting equal opportunities and challenging discrimination.
