SEN Care Worker (children's home)

We are a non-maintained specialist school, college and children’s home working with some of

the UK’s most complex and vulnerable children and young people. We are looking for

dedicated care workers to join our team on a permanent basis. You will support young people

with complex learning disabilities, severe social communication and behavioural issues. This

role gives you the opportunity to make a real difference to their lives. With your compassion,

guidance and training, you will watch them grow, develop and support them towards

adulthood.

The care team support our young people outside of school hours and also provide cover in

the classroom enabling our education staff to take their breaks. You will support our students

to develop their life skills; assisting with their personal care, choosing and preparing their

meals, shopping, money handling and accompanying activities on and off site. During the

school holidays our young people really enjoy trips off site, fully supported by their team. Over

the summer the team have been busy, including trips to the beach and funfair, adventure

parks, meals out, inclusive cycling sessions and Airhop. 

You will have the ongoing support of a skilled and dedicated team. Comprehensive training

and mentoring includes leaning about safeguarding, autism and positive behaviour support.

We will equip you with the skills and confidence to support our young people, offer them

boundaries and choices and provide safe and effective physical intervention when needed.

What will you need; 

• You need empathy, enthusiasm, compassion, mental, physical and emotional resilience
• The drive to make a real difference to the lives of the most complex children and vulnerable young people.
• All staff working for the Trust need to possess physical and mental resilience.
