Support Worker Middlesbrough, England
Job description
Full Time (shift pattern including sleep-ins)
Indigo Support is a specialist provider for young people in the North East. We work with young people aged 16-18 as a stepping stone to independent adulthood. This includes supporting each person in a home setting to fulfill their day to day needs (no personal care). We believe each young person should feel valued and respected in a nurturing environment in order to flourish to their full potential.
We support in Middlesbrough, Stockton and Hartlepool. Support is usually on a 1-1 basis (lone working). We work to Safeguard children, young people and adults at risk. We support young people to achieve their goals in life.
You are not required to be a car driver - however this would be an advantage. Applicants would need to hold or be willing to work towards a Level 3 -4 qualification in Children and Young people.
Experience in a support setting is preferred but not essential as full training and shadowing of experienced workers will be given.
You will be supported by a 24 hour management team. The role is subject to an enhanced DBS check and suitable references. We are committed to full training and personal development.
The annual salary is £29,793.40 per annum (including sleep-in payments).
Please note:
The shift pattern is 7 days on and 7 days off rotation. This is a LIVE IN ROLE and you would be sleeping at the placement.
The environment is supported accommodation - we aim for this to be as relaxed as possible so young people feel at home. Young people come and go as they please - you are part of a supportive network to offer guidance and advice. You will not be with the young person 24-hours per day whilst at work. You also have a 2 hour break every day which can be taken away from the house.
We value diversity and are an equal opportunities employer in line with the Equality Act 2010. We pride ourselves on paying the Real Living Wage.
