Title: Residential Day/Night Care Workers
Location: Various, around Hampshire
Salary: £15,000 - £20,000 dependant on experience
Hours: Full time, various shifts
This well established care group is looking for residential day and night care workers for their care homes. The group looks after children & young adults between the ages of 8 and 25 years who will have suffered severe early life trauma which has left them angry, let down and distrustful of adults. Their behaviour is typically displayed through anti-social and challenging behaviours and this may include violence and aggression towards others (including staff).
The role of a residential care worker is very physically demanding and will involve working long shifts covering day, evening and weekend working, and sleep-in duties. Staff may be required to intervene physically with the residents using trained techniques when de-escalation strategies have failed. Training, including refreshers, will be required to be undertaken annually by staff. A level of fitness is required by all staff in order to undertake these tasks.
