Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of children who need it most? Bristol City Council's Children Residential Service is offering a unique opportunity to join our team in providing therapeutic care experiences for children with complex needs.

About Us:

At Bristol City Council, we've redefined our approach to children's residential care. We've transitioned to smaller homes, with a focus on providing personalised care for 2 to 3 children at a time. This enables us to better match placements and offer a homely environment where children feel safe, loved, and nurtured. Our trauma-informed approach ensures that we understand and cater to the individual needs of each child, empowering them to thrive.

Who We're Looking For:

We're seeking individuals who share our passion for working with children who have faced challenges early in life. If you embody our Bristol Values of Respect, Collaboration, Curiosity, Ownership, and Dedication, we want to hear from you. Our ideal candidates are positive, reflective, resilient, and non-punitive, committed to upholding principles from PACE in their caregiving.

Why Join Us:

At Bristol City Council, we invest in our people. As a member of our team, you'll benefit from:

• A supportive work environment with ongoing training and development opportunities.
• Regular 1:1 supervision to ensure your professional growth.
• Competitive pay rates including allowances for shift work, sleep-in duties, and Bank Holiday shifts.

Please note that this role is subject to an Enhanced DBS Check.

Why Bristol City Council?

At Bristol City Council, we go that extra mile for our people; we offer a work environment which is fast moving and supportive, giving you the chance to use your skills and develop new ones within a high-profile organisation.

Join us and you’ll receive an excellent rewards package including membership of the Local Government Pension scheme, and a generous annual leave allowance. In addition, you’ll be working in a supportive environment where you’ll have the chance to make Bristol a better place and contribute to its future.
