Residential Carers Needed!

Background

Residential Carers work as part of a care team providing full-time live-in-quality care for vulnerable young people who are unable to live at home.

We’re looking for over 20 Residential Carers to establish a homelike, caring and nurturing environment to assist young people to develop a sense of security and trust in Ballarat and Horsham.

The Residential Carers in this role will be responsible for:

• contributing to an environment that provides a sense of safety, structure, acceptance and security at all times for the young people and for Carers
• addressing the therapeutic care needs of each young person within their Residential Care home
• ensuring that the young people’s rights and interests are protected at all times and act as effective role models
• supporting the young people to maintain important links with their family of origin, friendship networks and the local community.

RESIDENTIAL CARERS NEEDED

Parents, we’re looking for Residential Carers who can support vulnerable young people in out-of-home care.

Residential Carers provide care and support, and give young people in care the opportunity to build positive relationships which they’ll treasure beyond their care placement.

What’s involved?
Being a Residential Carer is almost like being a parent or guardian for young people who are unable to live with their own family – you’ll be doing school runs; supporting young people to connect with friends, family and community; cooking and cleaning; and providing that care and support which every young person needs. This includes being a vital part of a focused therapeutic approach to a young person’s care.
The role will call for commitment, compassion and a desire to help the young people in our care who are experiencing challenging and complex circumstances.
