Healthcare & Social Care Assistant-relief Panel Only

About the Role

We are currently seeking motivated individuals to join our Relief Panel. The relief support panel is a scheme designed to fill vacancies due to staff absence but members of the panel will never work alone or unsupported by an experienced, staff member.

Healthcare & Social Care Assistants will be required to assist our children and young people in their day-to-day life, including getting ready for school/college/day service, activities of daily living, meal preparation, social activities and, where required, personal care.

As a Healthcare & Social Care Assistant, you will:

· work alongside highly trained and experienced social care professionals

· gain valuable learning and development opportunities in a unique specialist setting

· play a direct role in ensuring the wellbeing, dignity, and independence of children and young people, with vision impairment

· enjoy the flexibility of casual work while making a real difference in the lives of others.

Qualifications

Ideally applicants should hold or be working towards a Level 7 or above degree, in a relevant subject area. In particular, membership to ChildVision’s relief panel is likely to appeal to a wide range of third level students or others available for part time or occasional work.

Requirement

· Fluent English and strong communication skills.

· A genuine interest in supporting children and young people with diverse needs.

· Reliability, empathy, and the ability to work effectively as part of a professional care team.

Benefits

· Flexible shifts to suit your lifestyle.

· No Friday/Saturday shifts

· The chance to develop your skills in a supportive and professional environment

· The opportunity to work in a small house environment, alongside well-trained, dedicated and highly motivated social care professionals.
