Do you have experience working with children or young people with trauma, behavioural needs, in education, or within offending services?
Do you drive and have access to your own vehicle?
Are you able to work a shift pattern, including mornings, evenings, weekends and sleep-ins?
If so, this could be a good opportunity to consider.
I'm currently recruiting for Therapeutic Support Workers for a specialist residential home supporting young people with traumatic backgrounds and complex behavioural needs.
The home is based in Salisbury, and the role involves transporting young people to school, appointments and activities, so being a driver is essential.
The position offers full training and qualifications in residential childcare, with a salary of £33,000 including sleep-ins (£27,000 basic plus around £5,000 in sleep-in payments and uplifts).
We're keen to hear from people with backgrounds such as:
Children's social care (residential, supported accommodation, care leavers)
Youth work or youth justice (including offending services, secure settings or probation)
Education, particularly SEN, SEMH, LD or autism support
Relevant degrees such as Psychology, Criminology or similar
Voluntary experience or lived care experience
This role can be a strong starting point for a career in children's social care.
Due to the nature of the role, we're unable to consider applicants who do not drive, cannot commit to shifts and sleep-ins, require fixed hours, or need sponsorship at this time.
