We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed Residential Project Worker to join our Pentland Way Service.

The post is a full-time day shift post, 37 hours a week, worked on a rota basis including weekends.

ABOUT CAERN

Barnardo's Caern Disability Services consists of three unique Projects who deliver a variety of quality services for young people with learning disabilities and/or autism. We have done this for over forty years.

Pentland Way Project is a residential service providing support to up to three young people. Working primarily in the residential setting you will promote the happiness, safety and welfare of the young people. You will play an active role in supporting the young people and their families/carers to achieve positive outcomes, as identified in their Individual Support Plans (ISP's).

ABOUT YOU

Ideally you will have experience in working directly with children and young people in a residential setting. Experience in supporting children and young people with a learning disability and/or Autism would be an advantage. Communication with the young people is paramount - the key is time tabling; structure; reliability and consistency. You will be faced with behaviours that challenge, including physical.

The staff team across Caern Services must be fully accepting of our children and be prepared to offer them a professional relationship based on acceptance and informed by our understanding of their individual needs, wishes and experiences. We are passionate about the children and young people that we care for, showing understanding, empathy and consistency in our approach.

You will hold (or be willing to work towards) a relevant professional qualification at SCQF level 7 or above (for example SVQ3 children and young people) plus an HNC in social services. These qualifications are required to register with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) as part of your employment. There may be external grants available to partly fund this.

Pay & Reward Framework

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.

Why you should consider applying

“After our son’s diagnosis with Autism in 2012 Angus Carers Centre have been a lifeline from the moment I called. It was a like a small weight had been lifted. Knowing someone was there that understood what we were going through and to guide us in the right direction was encouraging. That is when we knew we wouldn't be alone in your journey with Autism.

Through the groups I have become friends with those in similar situations to ours, we have laughed (a-lot) and cried (a little) over the years.

I gained my confidence back, I grew a backbone, became better with confrontation and got to know and love our son for what he was and what he could achieve, not what he couldn’t.

Don’t get me wrong, there have been other groups/charities involved along the way which have also helped shape the young man our son is today but for me especially ACC has been paramount. So much so I became a volunteer, I was then known as Isabel and not Billy’s’ mum. Something that I had missed for a long time. I loved my Monday morning shifts on reception before lockdown. We all know how it feels when you get through to the Dr’s receptionist after the weekend. That was me but for carers. Not always the cheeriest of calls but I knew who could help them and they were soon directed to the correct care worker. It certainly made my Monday Morning.

Anyway enough about me, if you have made the call to ACC well done if not, what are you waiting for, help is there.” – carer & staff member
