Residential Childcare Worker (Waking Nights)
Do you want to make a real difference to the lives of children and young people?
Carmarthenshire County Council is transforming our services for children and young people. This includes a major investment in new children's homes. Our goal is to support and nurture children to stay in their communities and thrive.
We are looking for people who have the right values, motivation and commitment to work in this rewarding yet challenging role. You will become part of a team providing a stimulating, nurturing environment to enable our children and young people to reach their full potential.
It is not essential that you have previous experience of working in residential homes as we recognise that individuals come with a wide range of experiences and transferable skills. We offer an excellent induction and training package, including supporting you to attain a level 3 qualification in working with Children and Young people, if you do not already have this.
You will be required to work shifts on a rota basis. This includes working evenings, weekends and bank holidays. You will also be required to sleep in as part of your duties.
For an informal discussion please contact Nicola McGrane, 07749144070, nmcgrane@carmarthenshire.gov.uk
