OUR VALUES

Our service is built on the Durham values - Dignity, Unity, Responsibility, Heart, Aspiration, and Mindset which are at the heart of everything we do for both our young people and our teams.

THE ROLE

As a Residential Worker, you will help create safe, supportive homes where children and young people can thrive and are aspirational for their futures. You will be at the heart of this mission by:

Providing day-to-day care and emotional support
Supporting our children and young people with school, appointments, and hobbies
Working closely with families and professionals to promote stability and resilience

The role can be challenging and requires dedication and resolve however, the personal rewards are immense. We are looking for child centred and emotionally resilient individuals who have:

GCSE Grade A - C in Maths and English or a qualification that is equivalent or higher

OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFEGUARDING

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 and will confirm whether an individual is barred from working with children.

The role will involve working a range of shifts including weekdays, evenings, weekends and sleep in duties. The nature of shift patterns enables a level of flexibility for employees.
We operate a 365 days per year, 24 hours a day service. As part of this, our shift-based roles work on a rota basis and attract enhanced payments.
