Full job description

WHAT WE DO MATTERS
At Aycliffe Secure Centre what we do truly matters; we provide a caring, trauma informed and aspirational environment for young people aged between 10 and 18. Our young people are accommodated under a welfare or criminal justice order and have faced many adversities, including neglect, trauma, relationship breakdown and criminal proceedings. As a result, you will be working with young people with complex needs and behaviours including violence and aggression. Our job is to provide them with a safe and caring home and to support them to develop the relationships and skills that will help them towards a positive and successful future.

The multidisciplinary team at the centre work collaboratively together and with external professionals and families to create an experience for young people that results in a successful and safe transition into a community home.

WHAT IS INVOLVED?
Joining us as a Residential Worker at Aycliffe Secure Centre is an opportunity to make a real and lasting impact. The role is physically and emotionally challenging, but the chance to make a genuine difference simply by offering your care, compassion and time is deeply rewarding.

No two days are the same and the variety of the role means youll bring your own strengths and personality into everything do you. You will hold a unique position where you can get to know each young person as an individual, helping to provide the support and guidance thats right for them.

We encourage you to find out more about our exceptional facilities and testimonies from our team or contact [email protected] to arrange an informal discussion about the role.

WHAT WILL I NEED?
Who you are matters to us and we value the life and work experiences you bring, but what matters most to us is who you are as a person and your personal qualities. If you are empathetic, resilient and have a desire to help shape the lives of our young people then we want to hear from you.

Please refer to the attached Person Specification for the full criteria.

If successful, you will be required to apply for a Disclosure and Barring Service Enhanced Disclosure.

Durham County Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all employees and volunteers to share this commitment. This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore if successful in your application, an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check will be sought inclusive of a check of the Childrens Barred List due to the position working in regulated activity. Applicants should be aware that the DBS check will disclose both spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings, in line with current legislation.

EVERY SHIFT MATTERS
Our young people receive care 24/7, so this role involves working a rotating shift pattern, including weekends and bank holidays. Shifts are designed to support a healthy work-life balance, with early shifts running from 7:30am to 2:45pm and late shifts from 2:15pm to 11:00pm. A typical rota includes a mix of early and late shifts during the week, with every other weekend on duty. You will also be required to undertake an average of one to two sleep-in duties per month.

YOUR DEVELOPMENT MATTERS
Your role will start with our comprehensive induction programme which includes a range of formal and informal learning opportunities so you can carry out your role safely and effectively. During the induction, you will also spend time on the home to start to learn the practical skills you will further develop throughout the induction.

There are also excellent ongoing training and development opportunities as well as dedicated one-to-one time to reflect upon workplace practice and access to specialist support.

We will support you to achieve a Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare if you have not already got it. It is a requirement that all our Residential Workers hold this qualification so this will be achieved within the first 18 months in the role.

YOU MATTER TO US
The difference we make to the lives of our young people is extremely valuable and we want everyone who contributes to that to feel appreciated.

As a valued member of the team you can expect a competitive rewards package that includes attractive salaries, a generous annual leave entitlement of 27 days (rising to 32 after five years continuous local government service) and membership of the excellent contributory career average Local Government Pension Scheme, Explore the full range of rewards and benefits on our website
