FCRT Assistants
Pay: £12.93 - £13.17 per hour.
Job Description:
Charity seeking committed and compassionate Teaching and Care Assistants.
The Fortune Centre of Riding Therapy (FCRT) enables people with special needs to have better control over their life and relate more successfully to others through Equine Facilitated Education and Therapy. We provide a safe, comfortable, and person-centred environment for those in our care, promoting independence, community integration and an active and healthy lifestyle.
We are currently recruiting for permanent assistants to work at our settings in the New Forest.
There are a variety of weekday and weekend shifts available covering the hours of 07.00 to 22.00 over a 40 or 52-week period.
Part of your role is to carry out residential and yard duties, to work with horses and their care to enable students to acquire skills and knowledge to achieve their own learning goals. You will support our students with independent living skills in the residential environment (this may involve some aspects of personal care, cookery, community activities and housework). A professional attitude to your work and the ability to adhere to all company policies, procedures and organisational guidelines is essential.
To carry out this role it would help if you had experience of working with horses, but this is not essential.
The FCRT is committed to Safeguarding, and to promoting the welfare of children and young adults; we expect all employees and volunteers to share this commitment.
If you feel this role is right for you, we would love to hear from by sending your CV. If you would like more information about the role, please email: m.pridham@fcrt.ac.uk.
