Job description

Opus People Solutions are seeking a Children's Support Worker in Peterborough.

Do you want to go to work everyday, knowing you're making a real difference to the lives of children?

You, a Children's Support Worker will play a crucial role in providing a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment for young residents. You will act as a professional parent, providing nurturing care for young people.

A large part of this job is being involved in activities with the children, being creative, getting outdoors and having lots of fun! If you have an existing hobby you could bring, even better! Your characteristics are what's important to succeed in this position.

Your daily responsibilities will include:

  • Establish and maintain clear and consistent boundaries to create a safe and secure environment for young people to flourish.

  • Taking the children to school and any activities

You will have:

  • Passion for supporting and caring for young people
  • Transferrable skills you could bring - perhaps you've worked with children as a sports coach, you've worked in care or as a teaching assistant?

You will be working in a varied and rewarding role, where no 2 days are the same. A degree of flexibility is needed
to support the children. You will be working a variety of shifts, including sleep ins which are paid at an extra £62.64 on top of your pay.

On top of the great starting pay, you will be rewarded with some great benefits including fully funded training and qualifications, employee discounts, life assurance and more.
