About Break:
Nobody chooses the family or circumstances they are born into. At Break we firmly believe that with the right care, there is no limit to what can be achieved.
We work across East Anglia with children and young people on the edge of care, in care and leaving care.
you'll be joining a team of passionate and dedicated individuals who want the very best for the young people they care for.
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.
This role will work in our Staying Close Staying Connected project, Staying Close Staying Connected, one of eight pilot models for leaving care being funded by the Department of Education.
About the role:
As a Housing Worker at Break, you'll be fundamental in making sure that the house that young care leavers move onto feels like their home and that they are supported to live independently in the community.
No two days will be the same, and you'll be expected to build strong relationships with the young people in the houses you oversee, helping and encouraging them in achieving their goals and aspirations.
Success in the role would see you support young people to become financially savvy such as by paying bills on time, as well as encouraging them to take an active part in keeping the service and houses well-presented and maintained.
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 £250 paid to you one month after your start date and a second £250 at the six month mark.
- 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.
- 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.
- Life assurance to the value of 3x your annual salary.
- Enhanced sick pay.
