We are looking to recruit experienced and enthusiastic people to join our team proving care and support to children and young people with additional needs arising from their disability.

 

We believe children who have disabilities are equally valued and empowered to live full and rewarding lives and have the same experiences for social inclusion as all children.  It is our mission to improve the quality of life for children with disabilities through the provision of high quality services in partnership with the children, their families, carers and other professionals.

 

You will need to provide practical person centred support, ensure that the children receive an excellent standard of care and support them to live full and active lives.

You must be willing to work in a flexible manner which will include morning, evening, weekend, sleep-in duty, night shifts and bank holiday work.  You will need excellent written, communication and basic IT skills. 

 

You will be expected to undertake shift leader duties as required after the necessary period of experience within the home. 

 

The level 3 Diploma for Residential Childcare, or equivalent is an essential requirement.
