What is a Children\u2019s Support Worker?<\/h3>\n

A Children\u2019s Support Worker specifically provides care for our younger clients. Most of these will be living with a family in their home though some teenagers and young adults may be in alternative accommodation.<\/p>\n

As an Alcedo Care children\u2019s care assistant, you may work with lots of different types of young people \u2013 some children may have a learning disability, some may have behaviours that challenge, whilst some may have complex clinical needs.<\/p>\n

What does a children\u2019s care assistant do?<\/h3>\n

Our Children\u2019s Support Workers sometimes help with personal or complex care<\/a><\/strong> for our young clients, but sometimes are just there as social support. This might mean helping our young clients get dressed and to and from school, sometimes it might being taking them for days out. Some of our Children\u2019s Support Workers or Children\u2019s Care Assistants will need to carry out some specialist clinical care including tracheostomy care, PEG feeding, ventilator care, oxygen therapy\/nebuliser care, stoma care, bowel and catheter care.<\/p>\n

What qualifications do you need to be a children\u2019s care assistant?<\/h3>\n

This typically depends on the needs of each individual client \u2013 some roles may be open to those without previous care experience however some roles will require previous experience working with children, or working with complex needs.\u00a0 Experience that may translate well to working as a children\u2019s care assistant includes looking after family, working as a classroom assistant or working as an SEN learning assistant.<\/p>\n

We will ask for a good level of spoken or written English, and for our North Wales roles we may ask for Welsh language skills.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1701246867794{margin-right: 5% !important;margin-left: 5% !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;background-color: #f4f4f4 !important;}”][vc_column]
