Job Description:

There is no better time to start a career within residential childcare than now!

Would you like secure employment where you can progress your career?

If you want to build a career that gives you a genuine sense of achievement and fulfillment, knowing that you can have a positive impact on the young people we support, then look no further and apply today!

Children’s home Llanelli P is recruiting for a Senior Residential Support Worker to join the team on a part-time basis! We are looking for enthusiastic, caring, and passionate people to become an integral part of our support team. In this role, you will support our young people and be responsible for providing compassionate care during your time with them. This role also involves supporting the Registered Manager to run a successful staff team and to oversee the day-to-day operation of the home.

Our benefits include...

• Exclusive access to reward and discount scheme
• Commitment to your ongoing training and career progression
• Paid for enhanced DBS
• Cycle to work scheme and more!

The home offers a holistic approach for the care of young people from the ages of 8 to 17 on admission. We will be able to accommodate 4 young people of either gender. Through the care planning process, an approximate decision of length of stay will be made, reflecting the child's needs.

Due to the nature of the role, a Full UK Licence is essential.

As part of Aspris Children’s Services, we are immensely proud of the career pathway and training we can offer you. We ask that you demonstrate the values needed for a role, transferable skills, and life experience. In return, we will give you all the training and support you need to progress.

A Level 3 qualification in Children’s Residential and Childcare is essential, along with previous experience within a residential childcare setting and the following characteristics:

• Resilience – We support some of the most vulnerable children in society who have varying degrees of emotional behavioral difficulties, autism, ADHD, and associated difficulties, so there will be times where your resilience is challenged.
• Communication – Communicating with our young people is vital to understanding their needs. Good teamwork and communication are key to ensuring important information is relayed to other staff.
• Organisation – As well as supervising the staff team, you’ll need to be confident and organized in updating care plans and reporting relevant information for the care of our young people.
• Caring – Our young people require the best care we can offer. If you are naturally caring and compassionate, this is the role for you.
• Attentive – No young person is the same, so being attentive to understand them and identify areas where we can support is important.

Above all, we provide a supportive and collaborative working environment where you can flourish in your career and feel rewarded by helping those who need it most.

If you want residential childcare to be a job for life, Aspris Children’s Services will help you there.

All applicants must be willing to undergo safeguarding screening appropriate to the post, including checks with Disclosure & Barring Service and at least 2 references covering the last 3 years.
