Description

About The Role:

Want to work in a children's home that makes a positive, lasting difference to children's lives? Are you an experienced Residential Worker or Youth Worker? Or maybe you have no experience but are looking to build a career in residential care.

Whatever your path, we need determined, resilient people to be long lasting, significant adults in a child's life.

Compass Homes are built around accepting a child as they are in a non-judgemental way. You will teach them to build self-esteem and accept themselves, helping their journey into adulthood.

Your responsibilities as a Waking Night Support Worker will include:

Using your experience and skills (further developed with our support and training), you will assist with the care of our children and young people.
All our homes adopt therapeutic practise, giving you the opportunity to develop into a specialist care provider. Training also includes reflective practise to consistently improve the way we care for children.
You will create positive relationships with the children, meeting their needs and always safeguarding them.
You will meet a variety of children and young people, some of whom may require high levels of supervision and support.

What makes us different?
-
We make a house a home

We invest heavily in ensuring homes are beautifully decorated and looked after, so children can express their characters, feel safe, and enrich their lives.

-
Generous budgets devoted to children

Each of our homes are given substantial investment to allow for all children to really experience a childhood. This includes holidays abroad, recreational activities, and special events.

-
Direct therapeutic work with children - We aim to provide all children with therapy, driven by industry leading psychologists and practise. This will include therapeutic training for all staff.
-
Bespoke systems

You'll spend more time working directly with children rather than duplicating reports and paperwork with our bespoke, time saving incident reporting system.

-
Detailed and supportive training

We give you a 'Skills to Care' induction. All new starters complete 2 separate weeks of classroombased training as well as a week of shadow shifts to best prepare you for your new role.

Compass is an equal-opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

As we continue to grow, we know that we must have the most talented employees with diverse backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, and experiences to support our children and young people.
