Barnardo's Caern Project deliver a variety of quality services for young people with learning disabilities and/or autism. We have done this for over forty years.

Our service supports young people with learning disabilities and/or autism and their families/carers to achieve positive outcomes. Working primarily in the residential setting you will promote the happiness, safety and welfare of the young people during short breaks.

Ideally you will have experience working with young people and the required qualifications for full registration as a residential child care worker with the SSSC or willingness to work towards them.

We are recruiting full-time posts where shifts will be allocated on a rota basis . It is anticipated that Residential Project Workers Days will work these hours over five days each week including weekends, early mornings and evenings.

We would also encourage applicants that are interested in part-time work.

Please see the attached job and person profile for the essential criteria for this role.

At Barnardo's we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all staff and volunteers to share in this commitment. Our safer recruitment processes mean that the safety and welfare of the child is paramount at every stage of the process and therefore, we adopt rigorous scrutiny in our pre-employment checking. This post is subject to a range of pre-employment checks including a Criminal Records Enhanced Disclosure for the successful candidate.

Barnardo's is committed to having a diverse and inclusive workforce for staff and volunteers. We actively encourage applications from disabled, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic and male candidates as they are under-represented within Barnardo's.
