Description

Wrexham County Borough Council (WCBC) are currently looking
to recruit casual Emergency Duty Team (EDT) support workers to work alongside
Social Workers to enable us to continue to provide a good quality service that
meets the needs of children, young people, families etc. This role is diverse
but primarily involves children and young people who have come into the care of
the local authority in an emergency and require supporting until the next
working day when day services will take responsibility for them. Other roles
include providing support to parents, carers, children and young people to help
them maintain positive relationships and remain together as a family unit.
Ideally a qualification in a related discipline would be
preferable (or working towards a qualification such as QCF L3, Social Work,
Nursing) together with some experience.
However we equally value applicants who can demonstrate experience
working with children and young people who may not initially possess a related
qualification as described.
EDT is a regional statutory service, managed by WCBC, and
covers Wrexham, Flintshire and Denbighshire. We deal with situations that
involve people in crisis and where the situation needs to be dealt with
immediately. Support workers will be on a standby rota where they will receive
payment of 2.5hrs (20:30- 08:30
weekday/weekend nights and 08:30-20:30 weekend/BH days) and an hourly rate if
they are called out to carry out a piece of work (over 2.5 hours in duration)
within that 12 hour period.
Because the role is casual you are ableto choose the shifts
(subject to availability) that fit in with any other work/family/study
commitments you may have.

workforce and welcomes applications from candidates who demonstrate their
