Job description

Protective Care Group was established to provide bespoke and tailor-made support for young people with severe, complex needs, particularly those exhibiting challenging behaviour.
We specialise in providing a level of support that local authorities are often unable to and are looking for kind and caring Support Worker to play an integral part in the delivery of this.

At PCG, the complex care we provide is based up on a kind and person-centred approach, tailored to each young person individually.

To ensure consistency, our shift patterns revolve around rolling 4 shifts on and 4 shifts off. These include a combination of 12-hour day and night shifts, of which the day shifts are occasionally followed by sleeping nights, for which you are awarded an enhanced shift allowance. Rotas are designed to meet the needs of our young people, so we all apply a flexible approach to ensure we can provide the very best care possible.

Things for you to consider before applying:

  • Although we advertise our roles in specific areas, you could be asked to work anywhere in the North East. Due to this, you must be comfortable with travelling and working away from home.
  • A full UK manual driving license is required for all our Support Workers.
  • If successful after telephone call and teams interview, candidates are required to attend an assessment day in Gloucestershire on 6th June 2024.

    • Understanding of CQC and OFSTED regulations and their importance.
    • A full UK manual driving license and are happy and comfortable travelling for work.
    • Full right to work in the UK.
    • Ideally NVQ Level 3 in Residential Childcare, however for the right candidate we would be happy to support them obtaining this qualification.

Benefits

  • Up to £7,300 annual shift allowance (paid monthly, pro rata) – this rises considerably with the addition of sleeping night shifts
