Are you looking for a new opportunity that offers both flexibility and a sense of purpose? Randstad is currently seeking dedicated Residential Childcare Workers to join our team, supporting various children's residential homes across Northumberland.

If you are a support worker with experience in caring for children who have experienced trauma, we want to hear from you!

The Opportunity

Our homes in Northumberland provide a vital sanctuary for young people. In this role, you will be providing essential emotional and practical support to children and young people who may have faced significant challenges and trauma. Your goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and stable environment where they can thrive.

Competitive Pay: £15.00 - £20.00 per hour (depending on experience and shift type).

Location: Northumberland and surrounding areas.

Flexibility: Control your schedule. Choose the shifts that fit your lifestyle via our easy-to-use booking system.

Flexible Shift Patterns Available

We understand that one size doesn't fit all when it comes to work-life balance. We have various requirements, including:

Long Days: Ideal for those who prefer to complete their hours in fewer blocks.

Days with Sleep-ins: Providing continuity of care through the evening and night.

Waking Nights: For the night owls who excel at providing a calm, safe presence during the late hours.

Key Responsibilities

Building positive, trusting relationships with vulnerable young people.

Assisting with daily routines, including education, hobbies, and life skills.

Managing challenging behaviors with empathy and de-escalation techniques.

Ensuring the highest standards of safeguarding and care are met at all times.

Maintaining accurate daily logs and reports.

What We Are Looking For

Experience: Previous experience in a residential childcare or a similar support setting is essential.

Resilience: An empathetic nature with the ability to remain calm under pressure.

Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to engage with both children and professional teams.

Compliance: You must be willing to undergo an enhanced DBS check (or have one on the update service) and provide full employment references.

Randstad Care acts as an employment business when supplying temporary staff and as an employment agency when introducing candidates for permanent employment with a client. Randstad Care is an equal opportunities employer and decisions are made on merits alone.

Did you know that Randstad Care have been awarded a place on the National Clinical Staffing Framework for the NHS? This means we will be able to bring you more opportunities within nursing & midwifery and clinical staffing
