Job Description
We are looking to recruit Flexible Residential Child Care Officers to our children's home, Ty Nant.
Successful candidates will have a casual contract which offers regular and ongoing work that fits with their lifestyle and other commitments. The home is operational 7 days a week and shifts will often include anti-social hours - evenings, nights, and weekends.
We are looking for enthusiastic, motivated and hard-working individuals to support young people between the ages of 10 to 18 years who have displayed challenging behaviour and/or have experienced trauma, neglect and abuse. You will be responsible for the day-to-day-care of the young people as well as ensuring the young people's individual personal plans are followed, to develop their physical intellectual, educational and social needs and that these needs are met through a warm, caring and supportive environment. Part of the role will include keeping the house clean and tidy.
Essential training will be provided and ongoing training opportunities will be given to further develop staff's knowledge and understanding to help them grow, be confident and competent in their role in supporting young people.
Candidates with experience of children's residential care and relevant qualifications (e.g. NVQ 3/QCF 3) are preferred, but this is not essential and we will support candidates who have the right skills to complete the qualification framework after they come into post.
