Who are Fair Ways and what do we stand for?

Fair Ways is a leading children’s services charity based in the Solent, delivering Fostering, Education, Residential and Family services and cares for over 400 children, families, young people and vulnerable adults each year. Fair Ways is a great place to work.

We are a team. We care about each other and are all committed to making a change to the lives of the young people and families in our care.

Where and when do we need you?

As a Multi-Site Support Worker you will have the opportunity to work flexibly at our residential home in Bristol. Working on a zero hours contract you can build a rota that suits you including days, weekends, evenings and nights, whilst also having the amazing opportunity to engage across the charity and make a meaningful difference to the lives of those we support in the following service:

• Supported Living 16 years +: Encouraging the development of independent life skills for post-16 teenagers within a therapeutic caring environment. Interacting with young people and managing complex behaviour.

Our team of Multi-Site Support Workers are managed by our Bank Engagement Lead who is passionate about creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for our zero hours workers ensuring that they feel valued and supported in the vital roles they play as part of our dedicated and dynamic workforce.

Desirable…. but not Essential

Whilst we value the knowledge and understanding that experience and qualifications can bring, we also know that some of our best people have come to us from unrelated backgrounds. These people already held our core values at heart, and with the dedication of our amazing in-house training and development team, we have supported the rest!

• A Level 3 qualification in childcare, social care, or another related discipline.
• All candidates must have a full driving license and have access to the use of a car. Successful candidates will be required to provide an enhanced Disclosure (DBS). This disclosure cost will be met by Fair Ways.
