Overview
The Ty Cwtch family are recruiting!
Ty Cwtch is based in beautiful Cardiff and the staff help support and educate children with both physical and learning disabilities and help them to live their best lives!
The individuals they support at Ty Cwtch love socialising with peers! They take regular trips to the farm and love visiting Cardiff Bay! They love parties and have recently celebrated their 10th Birthday! They’ve been known to dress up on Halloween and love painting and decorating too. They recently painted a family tree on one of the walls that features all the staff and management team.
They love to celebrate their staff and work excellently as a team; one team member has recently received recognition for her 45 years’ service! The manager often shares their successes with the rest of Salutem; “I am extremely proud of the work that has been produced these past weeks and the time and effort that have been put into making sure that Ty Cwtch is a worthwhile and beneficial home for the children who live in it!”
Now we've shared a glimpse of what it's like to work for us, let us introduce ourselves. We’re Salutem and we are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of thousands of children and adults in England and Wales across our residential homes, schools and day centres. Our dedicated support teams empower individuals to overcome any obstacles and live the life they choose.
Each day will be different, and the main focus of your role is to provide daily support to children and young people in our residential services. It’s definitely not a normal 9-5, you can work days, nights, and flexible shifts too. Talking of ‘dream’ jobs, some of our shifts are sleep-ins!
We want the best for everyone we support and that's what makes us a family. If you have the ability to support someone to feel at home, be their true self, and do what makes their heart happy – we want to hear from you. This is a meaningful role and will suit someone who is looking to make a difference and make memories and friends to last a lifetime.
We know our staff put 100% into building brighter futures for the individuals we support. That's why we offer career progression no matter where you start in the organisation. Your progress here will be regularly reviewed and as you gain expertise your rate of pay will increase. We believe in creating a Career from Care and we want the support workers we recruit now to become our managers of the future!
