About Break:
Nobody chooses the family or circumstances they are born into. At Break we firmly believe that with the right care, there is no limit to what can be achieved.
We work across East Anglia with children and young people on the edge of care, in care and leaving care. Whether you’re interested in working in our residential homes and short breaks for children with disabilities, our pioneering Staying Close Staying Connected project or vital essentials like our family assessment centre and wraparound care offer, one thing is universal: you’ll be joining a team of passionate and dedicated individuals who want the very best for the young people they care for.
Why Break?
At Break we invest in the future of our staff just as we do for the young people in our services. We strive to provide the highest quality of care, so whether you’re just starting your career in children’s social care or are already qualified, you’ll be supported, recognised and rewarded for your essential part in our vital work.
About the role:
As a Break Relief Support Worker you’ll be working hands-on day in day out with the young people living in the children’s home.
The first twelve months of your time at Break will see you build relationships with the young people and families living in the homes. Day to day you may find yourself taking the young people to and from their education provision, helping families to plan trips at home, or learning sign language so that you can help and encourage young people to communicate.
Every milestone in our Disability Services is celebrated and treasured. We can’t promise every day will be easy, but we can promise the sense of pride you’ll feel for the young people you support and care for.
You’ll need to be an excellent team player who is warm, caring, calm and resilient enough to cope with the complex emotional and behavioural needs of the young people in the service.
In your role, you’ll have access to the following benefits:
- Free, career-enhancing qualifications
- A benefits platform enabling you to access discounts across a range of shops, venues and services.
- A free counselling service to all our employees.
- The opportunity to influence Break’s strategy and direction through the Staff Consultation Forum.
- Free flu jabs.
