Enhanced rates of pay are available for occasional bank holidays, weekends and sleep-ins. Are you passionate about providing a safe place for vulnerable children to call home? Do you have transferable skills developed through your experience in an additional needs or specialist education environment? Ever considered a rewarding career in care with an ambitious and dedicated residential service? If so, this could be your next home! Rewards and Benefits 26 days' holiday rising to 28 days after 2 years' service and 30 days after 5 years' service Option to buy up to 10 days of additional annual leave An extensive Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to support health and wellbeing Up to 5 days of carer's leave per year Paternity, adoption and dependents leave A generous local government salary related pension Lifestyle discounts including gym, travel, shopping and many more 2 paid volunteering days per year Learning and development hub where you can access a wealth of resources Relocation bonus of up to £8,000 Refer a friend payment of £750 as a thank you for finding the right residential worker Our Home Our Residential Workers turn our Residential Houses into Residential Homes and this is no different for our home in Woking which is our home dedicated to caring and supporting children and young people with autism and/or learning disabilities. In the same way that you will support the children and young people, we will support you too! We offer the opportunity to gain the nationally recognised Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare - a requirement that you'll achieve within two years of starting. Not only will this qualification unlock new opportunities for you, including the chance to become a Senior Residential Worker earning £32,512 per annum, but it will also equip you with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel as a Residential Worker. Our Aim We are committed to providing exceptional homes for the children we are entrusted to support, which is no less than they deserve. Our homes strive to be nurturing, fun and inspirational places where our young people feel safe to be themselves and can rely on us to guide, care, and support them to thrive whatever their challenges and this is where you come in! The Opportunity As a valued member of the team you will positively contribute to the lives of the children and young people in our home, working to build effective relationships with them, supporting them with routine personal care, co-ordinating activities and holidays, creating meaningful care plans, working together with partner organisations, writing reports and ensuring records are kept clear and up to date. These are just some examples of the work you will do that will support our children and young people with their everyday lives. Like all supportive, caring, and compassionate home environments; no two days are the same, they throw up complex and challenging situations and are on 24/7 - 365 days of the year. So, let's be honest, if you are looking for a 9-5 job which is straight forward and predictable, you might want to sit this one out. There will be swearing, shouting, and the occasional tear. But there will also be happiness, laughter, and smiles. There will be reward for hard work, determination, and resilience, knowing that you make a difference. So, if you think you have what it takes, can match our energy to be exceptional, and are willing to learn, we (and our children) really want to hear from you.
