You will be a dedicated person who thrives in making a difference in the lives of others and wants to challenge yourself to develop your skills and knowledge in the children's home sector.

Do you have what it takes to encourage and help our children to live independently and guide and teach them with your own life experiences? To do this, we believe you will need empathy, compassion, resilience, and positive parenting skills.

The working day can be very unpredictable, and you could find yourself spending the entire morning organizing activities and the afternoon providing 1:1 support.

We offer an extremely competitive package:

1. Rate of Pay: £13.71-14.07 per hour dependent with a £30.00 additional sleep-in rate

2. Must have the desire to earn a Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare or equivalent Children & Younger Peoples workforce
3. 12 months experience working in a Residential setting is highly desirable but we do also encourage applications from those at the start of their journey

Requirements for DBS and reference checking will be undertaken in line with government regulations and safer recruitment best practice.

Whilst we endeavour to keep the recruitment process as short as possible due to the nature of these important checks, it may extend the processing time.

Duties:

1. Delivering the highest quality care for our children
2. Offering guidance, support and structure to their everyday lives
3. Supporting the young people to engage and access education
4. Promoting a healthy lifestyle and positive living choices
