Do you have a passion for working children and young people? Do you have some professional experience working with young people? Are you looking for a challenging yet rewarding role?

I am looking for Therapeutic Support Workers to join a fantastic and progressive local council who support the most vulnerable young people in the South West via their therapeutic homes based in Devon. This role is based in Tiverton so you must be able to commute 4-5 per week here.

Based in their residential homes, you will work with young people aged 5-18 who have suffered severe childhood trauma linked to exploitation, neglect, domestic violence and abuse. Your role will be to work with them to help them understand their trauma, help them re‐establish a positive view of the world, and work with the in‐house clinical team to build a comprehensive therapeutic plan for each child.

The Therapeutic Support Worker role requires full commitment; this is a serious career path that requires self‐sacrifice in order to ensure the young people are always put first and receive the support they need. The job will involve long hours (sometimes 24‐hour shifts), overnight sleep in shifts, alternate weekends, and sometimes you will need to stay beyond your shift ending to ensure safe handover or bedtime routines.

In return you will receive a fantastic salary, plus fully funded training and qualifications to move into managerial and leadership roles.

Benefits

£33,000 salary (this includes payment for 52 sleep in shifts per year)

Extensive training program to obtain Level 3, 4 and 5 qualifications in children's homes

Excellent career progression always available

Requirements

A burning desire, passion and full 100% commitment to working with extremely vulnerable children

Flexibility in your personal life to work long hours, weekends, sleep in shifts and stay later where required

Open, honest, self‐reflective personality who is able to understand their own life struggles and compartmentalise

Some experience working with young people is beneficial
