Residential Support Worker

£27.98k - £28.6k per annum

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 this could be the role 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.
  • Has the ability to remain calm in challenging situations.

Previous experience is not essential for this role. Our Skills to Care induction includes 2 separate weeks of classroom-based training and a week of shadow shifts to prepare for the new role.

You will also be supported to achieve your Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare. This qualification is achievable within a 12-month period, at which point you will be a Level 3 qualified Residential Support Worker, supporting your ongoing development and career progression with Compass.

What will I do as a Residential Support Worker?

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

  • You will help facilitate children’s activities and appointments, supporting them in all aspects of their lives. You will ensure their health and wellbeing, safeguarding them at all times.
  • You will meet a variety of children and young people, some of whom may require high levels of supervision and support.
  • You will support the wider team with a range of domestic tasks such as cleaning, cooking, and food shopping.
  • You will create timetables, manage paperwork and write reports.

Why work for Compass?

  • Starting salary of £27,976 with £60 per sleep-in on top of this.
  • 224 hours holiday, gradually increasing to 248 hours after 4 years working with us.
  • Receive an additional 3.5 days of leave (one for your birthday, one for health and wellbeing, one to volunteer and a half day for festive celebrations).
  • Receive £200 (2 years), £400 (5 years) and £600 (10 years) service awards, plus up to £500 special recognition award for outstanding practice.
  • With MediCash, receive cash back for medical and wellbeing appointments such as dental treatment/check-ups, optical care, physiotherapy and more.
  • Win up to £150 in our monthly VALUE Awards.
  • Company pension scheme.

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.
