Transition Worker - Cambridge, United Kingdom - Break Charity
Description
Transition Worker
Salary - £24,786 per annum
Hours - 38 hours per week
Contract - Permanent
Location – Cambridge and Peterborough
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. Whether you're interested in working in our residential homes and short breaks for children with disabilities, our pioneering Staying Close Staying Connected project or vital essentials like our family assessment centre and wraparound care offer, one thing is universal: 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. For children in care, turning 18 can mean finding themselves on a cliff-edge of support. This service is truly leading the way nationally in terms of leaving care provision.
About the role:
As a Break Transition Worker, you'll be working closely with young people who have recently left their children's residential care home and are taking their first steps into independence.
Success in this role will very much hinge on the strong, trusting relationship you'll build with the group of young people you're working with.
You'll make regular visits to their home and support them to increase their independent living skills. Whether that means teaching them one of your signature dishes (talk to Transition Worker Matt in Cambridgeshire for his Weetabix burger recipe), helping them to pay bills, applying for benefits or filling in a job application the role you will play in young people's lives will be fundamental in supporting mental health, wellbeing and their future.
You will help them break down the barriers they might feel as a young person leaving care and be the best possible version of themselves as they enter independence.
You'll work flexibly and have a can do attitude, be able to adapt your approach to suit the individuals or professionals you're working with. You are calm under pressure and resilient enough to cope with challenging emotions and behaviours. Our houses are in Cambridge, Peterborough and Wisbech; you have access to a car for visiting our young people and are comfortable with lone working.
In your role, you'll have access to the following benefits:
