Our Children's Home Symington are looking for a passionate and dedicated Waking Night Support Worker to join their team. Our home is set in a peaceful semi-rural location, creating a warm, homely and nurturing environment that can support up to 5 young people. We pride ourselves on our family style environment, where everyone is encouraged to feel safe, valued and that they truly belong. We support young people up to the age of 18, with continuing care up until the age of 21. Our young people have a range of individual needs, including complex trauma, ASD and ADHD. We have a spacious garden, which gives our young people the opportunity for outdoor learning, play, activities and simply being outside!
At our home in Symington, it's the little things that can make the biggest difference. Supporting our young people means that you are there through the ups, the downs, and all of the moments in between. It means listening, encouraging, having fun, offering reassurance and helping each young person feel safe, seen and supported. As part of our team, you will help young people with everyday life, build positive and trusting relationships, develop their independence and discover ways to help them understand and manage their emotions. You'll celebrate their achievements, support them through challenges, and most importantly, be someone they can rely on.
As part of our work, we are committed to help support the transformation of how Scotland cares. This is guided by the national initiative The Promise which ensure that children and young people grow up loved, safe and respected so that they realise their full potential. This principle sits at the heart of everything we do and shapes the way we support young people, families and communities across Scotland.
Due to the location of this role, a full UK driving license is essential.
