Why Break?

At Break we invest in the future of our staff just as we do for the young people in our services. We strive to provide the highest quality of care, so whether you're just starting your career in children's social care or are already qualified, you'll be supported, recognised and rewarded for your essential part in our vital work.

About the role:

As a Break Relief Support Worker you'll be working hands-on with the young people living in the children's home.

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone wishing to explore a career working with children. You will be given full training and support to develop your knowledge, and will learn about child development, the effect of trauma, therapeutic support, and how to effectively support someone who is experiencing challenges as a result of their past experiences.

A typical day might see you supporting a young person with their school work and taking time to get to know them while you share dinner together, or meeting with other professionals involved in the young person's care. You'll be responsible for their safety and any decisions made about the day-to-day running of the home, supported by senior transition workers, team leaders and the home's management team.

To be successful in the role you'll be patient, a good team player, and a problem solver.

Please note, we can only consider applications from those who hold a full, clean driving license.

The support work will include shift work and some weekend working and will include paid sleep-in shifts.

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.
