Location of the post: Market Harborough, Leicestershire.
This post carries a salary enhancement in the form of a Night Shift Premium allowance in recognition of the unsociable hours element of the role
Service Overview: Barnardo's, the UK's largest Children's Charity are currently on an exciting and innovative Journey alongside Leicestershire County Council to deliver a range of Children's homes for the most vulnerable children & young people in Leicestershire.
Welland House has 3 self-contained flats with the capacity to house up to 3 families at any one time. Families utilising this type of service may include parents with moderate to high learning needs, those presenting with issues around domestic violence, and or substance/alcohol misuse. Additionally, they may have experienced mental ill health and/or trauma. During their stay, the parents will be supported in their parenting by Barnardo's staff, whilst being assessed by Leicestershire County Council Children's Service.
The Welland House team is supportive in its approach, with our primary aim revolving around promoting best practices, through guidance, role modelling, key work sessions and practical advice on matters relating to concerns, risk, safety, routines, and boundaries.
Some of the responsibilities of the role include but are not limited to:
To build trust and develop nurturing relationships which promote the service user's independence, wellbeing, strengths, and capabilities.
To work in partnership and build relationships with parents/carers and other professionals.
To contribute to the upkeep of the home including cooking, cleaning etc.
To document information accurately and ensure records are kept up to date.

Must hold the Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare OR be willing to successfully achieve this within the required timeframe.
Relevant experience working with children & young people and their families
Must have a good understanding of safeguarding and protection of children, young people & vulnerable adults
Flexibility to commit to shift work, including weekends and bank holidays.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
There is an expectation for night staff to make themselves available during the day with advance notice at scheduled times to attend mandatory training and ongoing group supervision and consultation in line with duties related to their role.
Whilst Welland House will be your base location, you must be flexible to travel throughout the locality to support our other homes should the need arise. These are located in Hinckley, Coalville, Mountsorrel, Braunstone and Syston.
