ABOUT THE ROLE:
As a Break Support Worker you’ll be working hands-on day in day out with the young people living in the children’s home.
For some young people, the behaviours caused by the trauma they have experienced means they need additional support. Break’s solo children’s homes offer these individuals the full attention they need to be able to thrive.
You’ll work with a tight-knit team of colleagues to build a relationship and trust bond with the young people living at the home. You’ll be a positive role model, supporting them in overcoming their previous trauma and learning to trust in adults again, along with the help and guidance of your colleagues and Break’s therapeutic services. You will encourage new experiences, supporting the young people to develop their own identity.
You’ll be patient, thrive in a team environment, able to support those around you and have the emotional intelligence and resilience to manage challenging situations.
To be successful in the role you’ll be a good team player, and a problem solver.
You will need to successfully complete an NVQ Level 3 in Residential Childcare before you complete 24 months of Support Work. This will be fully funded by Break and you will be supported by our training team.
Please note that you must have a full, valid, manual driving licence.
IN YOUR ROLE, YOU’LL HAVE ACCESS TO THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:
- Free, career-enhancing qualifications
- A “golden hello” scheme welcoming you to our services, with £500 paid to you one month after your start date and a second £500 at the six-month mark. (Not available to candidates referred by recruitment agencies) (Subject to conditions)
- A referral scheme offering the same two payments as the golden hello if you recommend a contact who goes on to be employed by Break in care services. (subject to conditions)
- 31 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
- Annual leave purchase
- Additional service-related holiday from 2 years
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- Company funded medical cash plan
- Enhanced sick pay and family friendly leave
- Pension salary sacrifice
- Life assurance to the value of 3x your annual salary
- Access to the Blue Light benefits platform enabling you to access discounts across a range of shops, venues and services (your membership fee will be reimbursed)
- Access to multiple Wellbeing initiatives
- The opportunity to influence Break’s strategy and direction through our Staff Consultation Forum
- Cycle to Work and Tech scheme
- And more
