Introduction

Are you looking for a job where you can genuinely change a young person's life?

Budwood, part of the Polaris Community, provides residential care and support for children and young people. Many of the young people have experienced difficult starts in life - that's why what we do really matters.

We create safe, stable and supportive homes where young people can rebuild their confidence, learn new skills and move towards a more positive future.

This is more than just a job - it's an opportunity to make a real difference.

We're looking for caring and motivated Residential Support Workers to join our team in Southampton. No two days are the same, and you'll play a key role in supporting young people, building positive relationships and helping them reach their potential. You don't need to have lots of experience - just the right attitude, willingness to learn and a genuine desire to help others. We'll support you with full training, so you feel confident in your role from day one.

At Budwood, you'll be part of a supportive, friendly team where you are valued, encouraged and given the opportunity to grow.

What is the job?

We're looking for a caring and reliable Residential Support Worker to join our team, supporting children and young people in a safe and welcoming home.

In this role, you will:

  • Support young people with their daily routines
  • Build positive relationships and be a trusted adult
  • Help them develop confidence, life skills and independence
  • Keep them safe, supported and encouraged every day

If you have had experience of working with children or young people that will really help, but we understand that this may be your first time doing this type of work. We will give you all the training and support you need to do the role.

Working pattern

You will be on a shift rota.

Each shift is 24 hours long (you are paid to sleep at the home) and you will typically complete two or three shifts in row.

You will work a mixture of weekdays and weekends.

You will have the opportunity to complete overtime should you wish to.

Requirements for the role:

  • Hold a Level 3 qualification in Childcare, Health and Social Care or equivalent (or be willing to work towards it)
  • Friendly, able to speak as well as listen to children and colleagues
  • Willing to complete an enhanced DBS check (cost covered by us)

What we offer:

  • Comprehensive training
  • Up to 6 weeks' holiday per year
  • Company pension scheme
  • £64 per night sleep-in allowance
  • All meals provided while on duty
  • Access to the Exchange Employee Discount Scheme
  • Wellbeing support through the Exchange Provision
  • Career progression opportunities
  • Monthly clinical and professional supervision, plus access to therapeutic support

If you want to build a meaningful career supporting young people, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now and join a team making a real difference - every single day. Applications for casual bank roles will also be considered.

Budwood Limited is an equal opportunities employer and positively encourages applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates.

The company is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff to share this commitment.

Successful applicants will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
