We are looking for a Senior Support Worker to join the team at Robins, our 10 bed Residential & Respite Home in Dartington.

Children and young people with learning disabilities and their families are at the heart of everything we do and we want every person we support to have a great life, with excellent outcomes. We couldn’t achieve that without all the great Support Workers who join our care teams. It all starts with you!

There is no such thing as a ‘typical’ Support Worker. Our staff come from lots of different backgrounds, people with little or no experience but want a job that involves helping people, those who want a change of career, as well as experienced Support Workers.

The one thing that links all of them together is their desire to work with young people with learning disabilities, make their lives better and help them to learn something new or take a further step towards independence. Our Support Workers certainly don’t see what they do as ‘just another job’.

No two days will be the same as you will get involved in a variety of different tasks and activities whilst helping the young people to learn the skills they need to live the life they choose.

Ideally, you will have previous experience in this sector and must hold a Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent).

Defined as a “Good” provider by Ofsted, Robins are looking for “Outstanding” staff who will deliver support in a professional, caring way and in return, we can offer an excellent range of staff benefits including 28 days’ annual leave per annum, a company pension scheme, childcare vouchers, staff discount scheme, ongoing training and supervision, continuing professional development and support, as well as an extensive induction on commencement of employment. Lifeworks are also accredited Disability Confident Employers.

Lifeworks is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young adults and we expect all staff to share this commitment. For this post, pre-employment checks will be carried out, references will be sought and successful candidates will need to undertake an enhanced DBS check.

Employer: ISF Cambodia

Application close: 31st October 2021

Contract Type: Full-time (following successful completion of a three-month probation period)

Remuneration: $1,700 per month (before tax), depending on experience + seniority payments and benefits

About ISF

ISF Cambodia (ISF) is a Cambodian based charity with over 15 years of experience using education and sport to change lives.  Our aim is to make a fundamental and lasting change in the lives of some of the poorest and most disadvantaged children and their families in Cambodia.

Our Education Programme focuses on children living in the slums of the capital Phnom Penh whose extreme poverty means they have never gone to school or have had to drop out. We provide them with quality education and healthcare whilst working closely with their communities to lift entire families out of poverty. Through our grassroots Football Programme, ISF works directly with 3,000 youth, promoting equality and providing opportunities to those marginalised by poverty, disability, HIV and gender.

Job Purpose

ISF is looking for a highly motivated individual who can fulfil the position of Senior Trust Funding Officer (STFO). The STFO sits within the Development Team and will contribute to achieving the team’s fundraising targets through securing and managing income from trusts and foundations.

The STFO will identify trusts and foundations and develop a pipeline of new funding opportunities. This role will also cultivate and consolidate robust relationships with trusts and foundations and will be responsible for drafting and submitting high-quality applications and reports. Although trusts and foundations with the ability to grant significant gifts of five figures are prioritised in the team’s fundraising plan, the STFO will also steward a portfolio of smaller trusts and foundations that grant donations of less than $10,000, but which cumulatively constitute significant income for ISF.

We are looking for an experienced individual with a strong track-record of successful applications to charitable trusts and foundations, and someone with the professionalism, energy, creativity and drive to seek out and make the most of funding opportunities.

The Development Team is a small and close-knit team, so you will need to be both self-sufficient and a team player. You will regularly collaborate with people across ISF, from social workers, to the finance team and operations, as well as our local and international partners. You will be an excellent communicator with a passion for ISF. You will be able to articulate the impact we seek to achieve in a way that is accessible, accurate and compelling in order to ensure that ISF is in the best position possible to keep supporting those most in need to build brighter futures.
