Bank Support Worker

£12.2 - £14.2 per hourEstimated

About The Role

Are you a Life Changer? Do you want to lean in and transform the life of a child?

Compass Community puts children first through our therapeutic, innovative approach. Integrity, Courage and Care shape how we work. We listen deeply, challenge each other and fix what needs fixing, together.

This is the work. And we’d like you to be part of it.

Work in a children’s home that makes a positive, lasting difference to children’s lives. This role is ideal for experienced Residential Workers or Youth Workers, as well as those with no previous experience who are looking to build a career in residential care.

We are looking for determined, caring and thoughtful people to become long-lasting, significant adults in a child’s life, and flexible hours, a bank support worker role with Compass could be for you.

We are looking for someone who

  • Is 22 years of age or above (to meet Ofsted regulations).
  • Is caring, compassionate and able to build positive relationships with others.
  • Has a valid manual driving licence.
  • Can remain calm in challenging situations.

Previous experience is not essential for this role. You will receive a comprehensive induction and ongoing training.

What will I do as Bank Support Worker?

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 with their journey into adulthood.

  • You will work closely with children and young people in care, putting them at the centre of everything you do. You will create positive relationships with them, 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.
  • Using your experience and skills (further developed with our support and training), you will assist with the care of our children and young people, supporting them in all aspects of their lives including activities, hobbies and educational pursuits.
  • Consistency and organisation skills are key: you will create timetables and set boundaries and expectations for the children.

Why work for Compass Children’s Homes?

  • £60 per sleep in.
  • Flexible working patterns.
  • Win up to £150 in our monthly REACH Awards.
  • We supply excellent support and professional supervision, plus regular training and further qualification opportunities.
  • Compass knows how to make a house a home. We understand that a home can embody how we live and see ourselves, so our teams create a home environment that exceeds the children's needs, allowing them to express their characters, feel safe and enrich their lives. We pride ourselves on giving children who experience behavioural and emotional difficulties the highest quality care and substitute parenting.

The successful applicants will be appointed subject to references and enhanced DBS check.

Compass is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Above all we thrive on our ethos “Potential Not Perfection”, meaning we will consider ALL applications.
