ABOUT THE ROLE:

As a Break Relief 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 person living at the home. You’ll be 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’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.

In your role, you’ll have access to the following benefits:

• Free, career-enhancing qualifications
• A benefits platform enabling you to access discounts across a range of shops, venues and services.
• A free counselling service to all our employees.
• The opportunity to influence Break’s strategy and direction through the Staff Consultation Forum.
• Free flu jabs
