About Kibble
Kibble supports children from early years up to young adults who have experienced trauma and adversity through residential care, education and mental health services. Since 1859, we’ve put young people first and have built a trusted charity with vital services that strive to transform lives, families and communities.
When starting a new job at Kibble, you’ll become part of a dedicated staff team who make sure children are happy and safe 365 days a year, 24/7. Whether your role is in care, education, or the corporate side, you’ll help give young people a chance at life.
Job Purpose
Kibble is recruiting Residential Child and Youth Care Workers for our established children’s houses based in Inverkip. The posts involve working as a member of a multidisciplinary team providing a therapeutic trauma informed model of care to children aged 5-12 years.
We seek people who have a strong commitment to caring for children, who understand developmental trauma, and who are resilient, reflective and patient. You should be able to practice in a trauma sensitive way. You will be able to provide children with a sense of safety and connectedness and teach coping skills in the face of complex challenging behaviour.
Following social pedagogical principles, our Children need opportunities to problem solve and experiment with taking risks to challenge themselves physically and mentally. We recognise the powerful healing and developmental role of play in children’s lives. Therefore, we are very keen to have people on board who are in touch with their inner child and are willing to be creative about and fully involved in, outdoor play, messy play, risky play, and the range of play opportunities we provide for our children.
This post will offer the successful candidate stability, with guaranteed hours, and the benefit of varied work. It is ideally suited to someone who has flexibility throughout the working week and weekends to work both early and back shifts. The varied shift pattern provides opportunity for the successful candidate to interact with a range of different employees and children and young people at Kibble.
