Children's Residential Support Worker - WMF3115e

Job description

Location: Penrith
Contract Type: Temporary - Fixed Term 12 Month

About this opportunity

21 Huntley Avenue is an Ofsted Outstanding short breaks service supporting children and young people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, autism and complex needs. We provide a safe, nurturing and fun environment where children and young people can develop confidence, independence and life skills while enjoying positive experiences away from home.

Working in our Children's Home means being part of a young person's everyday life. There will be challenges, but there will also be moments of real achievement as you help children and young people overcome barriers, learn new skills and reach their potential.

As a Residential Support Worker, you'll work as part of a dedicated team providing high-quality care and support tailored to each young person's individual needs. From supporting daily routines and personal care to planning activities, community outings and short breaks, you'll play a key role in helping children and young people have fun, stay safe and achieve positive outcomes.

Who we are looking for…

We're looking for caring, resilient and enthusiastic individuals who are passionate about making a difference.

Experience of supporting children and young people with learning disabilities, autism, complex needs and behaviours that challenge would be highly beneficial. Just as important is the ability to build trusting relationships, communicate effectively with families and professionals, and provide consistent support in what can sometimes be challenging situations.

A Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent) is desirable, although we welcome applications from those willing to work towards the qualification.

Please note

This role involves shift work, including evenings, weekends and sleep-ins. The role also includes supporting young people with personal care, medication and community activities

What can we offer you!

Working at Westmorland and Furness Council you will receive a variety of benefits, including a competitive pension scheme, enhanced annual leave allowance and other various perks and discounts schemes.

We also offer guaranteed interviews to Armed Forces personnel and veterans and those in care or care experienced and under 24 years old (someone who has been looked after by a local authority at any point, for any length of time, e.g. foster care, residential care, or under the guardianship of a local authority) that meet the essential criteria for the role.
