What’s your idea of working in care? We’d love to share a glimpse of life at Salutem with you!
Firstly, we need to introduce you to the children and young people we support. They love visiting theme parks, keeping pet parrots, eating out, visiting the beach, trampolining, football and much much more… (We’ll leave it there for now or we’d be here ALL day listing their favourite things to do!)
Could you be the friend or role model they need to help them live their best lives?
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 Support team at Salutem encourage children and young people to fulfil a stable daily routine and achieve their best. That might mean supporting them to go to school or organising a trip to a museum. The children and young people we look after may require complex care, but that doesn’t stop them from having fun, laughing hard and loving life.
Tŷ Cwtch is a registered children’s home in Cardiff, providing care and support to young people aged up to 19 years with a range of complex needs, physical disabilities, severe or profound and multiple learning difficulties, and other conditions.
Tŷ Cwtch is based in idyllic surroundings with over 50 acres to explore and we have our own adapted transport to access activities in the community. We offer tailored packages, which can include 24-hour nursing care and/or combined residential and education placements with our school, Craig-y-Parc. Each young person is encouraged and supported to find out what they enjoy. These activities are fundamental to our work in supporting them to develop their identity and self-esteem.
We make sure the young people we support get the most from every experience and find the best ways to improve their physical, cognitive and communication skills. This can be through one to one support or the benefit a specialist team. Our team have training and experience in dysphagia, epilepsy, mental health needs, cerebral palsy, autism, and learning disabilities. We have our own nursing team and staff trained in paediatric first aid and safe administration of medications. Staff also have training in specific conditions and procedures to ensure that we offer the best quality care and support specific to individual needs.
Each day will be different, and the main focus of your role is to provide daily support 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!
