Residential and Edge of Care Worker
Children’s Services
Residential
We have ambitious plans to shape how we work with families, placing practitioners and relationship-based practice at the heart of what we do. Through Vital Signs, our vision for Children in Norfolk, we work with whole family networks and across the whole system to support families to build on their strengths and to achieve the best possible outcomes.
We are looking for Residential and Edge of Care Workers to undertake a keyworker role with residents, ensuring that the young person’s views and wishes are sought and acted upon and maintain the relationship through key transitions. You will contribute to the care planning process by participating in statutory reviews, planning meetings, and progress meetings as required, will undertake ‘sleep-in’ duties on a rota basis and will provide outreach support for young people and families.
To join our New Roads service, you will need a good level of literacy and numeracy, a willingness to undertake relevant training courses and the ability to form effective relationships with children.
We will support you to attain an NVQ level 3 in Health and Social Care, which must be successfully completed within 18 months of appointment.
More than anything, you will have a passion to support young people, be a good listener, have patience, understanding and really want to support young people so they can achieve the best possible outcomes in life.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to develop or change their career and is looking to make a real difference to the lives of young people.
