Senior residential worker
Are you a kind, resourceful, committed residential childcare manager with strong leadership skills who thrives on making a difference in children’s lives? Do you want to work with a team that's been rated VERY GOOD by the Care Inspectorate for the last seven consecutive years?
At Clearview Care, we uphold the principles of The Promise and create child-centred care packages for children and young people in care.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the health and well-being of the young people in our care and believe every child deserves the highest-quality care. We provide a safe, supportive, and trusting environment that encourages responsibility, growth, learning, and positive outcomes.
You must enjoy working with children. The role will include helping with any emotional or personal care needs the young person might have. It is essential you can present a calm and engaging demeanour whilst assisting the children with their day-to-day activities. Whilst previous experience would be desirable, excellent support skills, the right motivation, personal qualities, and levels of resilience are just as necessary.
If you want to join a dedicated team in a workplace that will welcome your ideas to re-engage the young people we work with, we would like to hear from you.
In return, we offer.
· A welcoming and friendly team passionate about achieving positive outcomes for our young people.
· A flexible shift system which supports a work-life balance.
· A pay award system determined by experience and qualification that puts career development at the forefront of your training.
