Contract Type : Permanent

Every child should have the opportunity to go for a day out at Exmoor Zoo. To go to Woolacombe Beach. To have fun at Junglaroo! Barnstaple has so much to offer a child. We make sure the children supported by Phoenix Learning and Care get to experience as many of the great things other children do as possible – But we need your help.

Our children have social and emotional needs related to Autism, ADHD, or Trauma. They need good role models to help them flourish. With your support, we can make that happen. The children will have difficult days and need more help at home, especially if overwhelmed. Your support on those days will make the good days even more special. You’ll really be able to see the positive impact of your relationships as the children grow.

This role is working in one of our small 2-3-bedroom homes based in and around Barnstaple, so you’ll really get to know the team and the children. The children need support 24 hours a day, meaning you’ll be able to work your full week in 2-3 days, which is only 10 shifts per month!

As a Senior Support Worker, you’ll lead your shifts and, when needed, support the Registered Manager with recruitment, supervision, meetings, and inspections.

A day in the life of a Senior Support Worker will involve :

• Assisting the manager with recruitment, supervision, meetings, and inspections.
• Supporting children to have the best quality of life possible. Whether it be through baking at home, fun days out, or taking them on holiday. You could be doing anything from making sure the children have a healthy diet to going to Quince Honey Farm!
• Ensuring our children are kept safe and their plans are suitable for their needs. We’ll need you to help monitor their development by keeping our systems and records up to date. Don’t worry though, you’ll get all the training you need.
• Taking part in our on-call rota, averaging 1 on-call per week. You’ll get an additional allowance for this!
