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 hoursin duration) within that 12 hour period.
Because the role is casual you are able to choose the shifts (subject to availability) that fit in with any other work/family/study commitments you may have.
Wrexham County Borough Council employs around 6,000 people in a wide range of roles. We rely on our employees to deliver high quality services and in return we offer rewarding career opportunities. Wrexham County Borough Council also has a range of policies to assist employees with caring and family commitments.
The Council takes continuous training and development very seriously. All employees are supported to develop and this may include pursuing qualifications and further training at the level appropriate to their jobs. Where appropriate, we will allow paid time off to enable employees at all levels to pursue career development programmes or study for professional and other qualifications.
Employees are also encouraged to work for National Vocational Qualifications that can be acquired in the workplace. Additionally, we run our own short training courses. Join us in contributing to the delivery of the Council Plan in ensuring excellent service and improving the quality of life of the citizens of Wrexham.
