At Rockwood House, we provide a nurturing environment for children and young people aged 12-18, offering them a stable home within the heart of Beith, North Ayrshire. Our dedicated team supports each resident in accessing mainstream education, vocational training, and local employment opportunities, ensuring they are integrated into the community while receiving tailored guidance and care. We create a safe space where individuals can engage in new activities and experiences, designed to foster growth and build confidence in a supportive setting.
At CrossReach's residential service, everyday activities like playing games, sharing meals, or visiting the beach become powerful tools for building trust, creating memories, and enhancing young lives. The children in our care have faced significant challenges, and it's our mission to help them realise their potential and reintegrate into their communities.
Children here live in small, community-focused houses and attend a new purpose-built school, supported by dedicated professionals like you. Our environment is designed to foster healing, personal growth, and future success.
In this impactful role, you'll assess children's needs and collaborate with Lead Practitioners to implement care plans. As part of a close-knit team, you'll adopt a ‘whole-child' approach, addressing everything from daily tasks to relationship-building.
Ideally, you'll have an HNC in Social Care and SVQ Level 3 qualification, along with experience in care or education. If you possess a compassionate approach and can look beyond behaviour to understand underlying reasons, we'll provide full training. A driving licence is also required.
Despite being one of Scotland's largest social care organisations, CrossReach values every individual. For children, this means respect and tailored support. For professionals, it means a supportive environment where your ideas are valued and your ambitions can be realised.
We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.
Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.
But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
CrossReach has been at the forefront of high quality social care for over 150 years, providing loving care to people of all ages and supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances. During that time, we have worked hard to understand the needs of the people who turn to us for help and with them have been at the forefront of pioneering services which have literally changed thousands of lives for the better.
Today we are one of the largest social care providers in Scotland, with experience across a broad range of services. We are still growing, learning, and improving, thanks to the incredible people we have the privilege to support, and all those who support us. We are part of the Church of Scotland and aim to provide social care services and specialist resources in Christ's name to further the caring work of the Church to people in challenging circumstances.
As we do our work in Christ's name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it.
