Casual Care Officer (CRB)*

To ensure we have a constant pool of staff to work within the Department’s children’s homes we wish to appoint a number of Casual Care Officers.

You will work as part of a team to provide a high quality effective service to meet the needs of children in the home. You will be required to work irregular hours, as and when required, for specific purposes. This would include homes catering for children and young people with disabilities and an outreach service.

You must have experience of working in a social care environment. Experience of working with children in a paid or voluntary capacity is desirable.

You must be able to communicate with and assist children with social, personal and physical care and implement Therapeutic Crisis Intervention and Restorative Practices within your daily practices. All the successful candidates will be offered all the relevant training to ensure they are equipped to implement all the policies and procedures of the Council.

Since these posts are offered on a casual basis they will not be available for job sharing.

Interviews: w/c 29 March 2010
