SUPPORT WORKER

Role

Want to work in a children’s home that makes a positive, lasting difference to children’s lives? Are you an experienced Residential Worker or Youth Worker? Or you have no experience but are looking to build a career in residential care. Whatever your path, we need determined, resilient people to be long lasting, significant adults in a child’s life.
Cotswold Healthcare are built around accepting a child as they are in a non-judgemental way. You will teach them to build self-esteem and accept themselves, helping their journey into adulthood.
We are looking for Support Workers to work with children in their homes and within Childrens units and Community. The teams are small teams, and the individuals have all lived together for years.

No two days are the same, but your day might look like this!

  • Supporting our people to be engaged in all day to day living activities, including making full use of their community and beyond.
  • Supporting our people with social activities and connecting with family and friends.
  • Supporting the management of our people’s finances.
  • Keeping our people’s home clean and fresh, and going shopping.
  • Providing, and encouraging, personal care.
  • And enjoying what you do!
Your responsibilities as a Support Worker will include:
  • Using your experience and skills (further developed with our support and training), you will assist with the care of our children and young people.
  • All our clients’ homes adopt therapeutic practise, giving you the opportunity to develop into a specialist care provider. Training also includes reflective practise to consistently improve the way we care for children.
  • You will create positive relationships with the children, meeting their needs and always safeguarding them.
  • You will meet a variety of children and young people, some of whom may require high levels of supervision and support.
Please note that you must be 22 years old or above to apply as per children’s homes regulations.

The recruitment process aims to create and maintain a safe workforce and contains robust vetting procedures. The successful applicants will be appointed subject to references and enhanced DBS check. To be successful in your application you will be subject to a rigorous safer recruitment process and must always adhere to a strict code of conduct regarding your behaviour.

Cotswold Healthcare is an equal-opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
