Recruitment

New roles created in children’s team

Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s disability charity, is expanding its Children’s Team after demand in its respite services has increased and the charity has announced five new roles. Demand for its services at Lily’s Place, Lawford Lodge, and Shapes domiciliary care has increased with almost double the amount of interest compared year on year. The charity is looking for two people to work full time, and several to work part time. Claire Stacey, Children’s Team Manager, said: “We’re looking for a selection of new faces to join our amazing staff working together to meet the needs of the young people we support. “It’s so rewarding to be able to come to work every day and make a difference to young people’s lives, no two days are ever the same, but there’s always lots of fun to be had.” Dawn Cross, one of the child support workers at Lily’s Place, added: “I was attracted to the Children’s Team because I was looking for a role where I can enjoy helping people. “I’ve had great opportunities for growth and have been recently promoted to a full time Child Support Worker since joining as part of the Short Breaks Crew.” Training is provided on the job, with progression towards a relevant level three diploma, and applicants must apply before the deadline on Wednesday, June 30.
