If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you!

We are looking for a Children's Residential Support Worker who can establish meaningful relationships creating a positive, warm, and rewarding environment. We need somebody who can provide a supportive role in the lives of young people, is able to give advice and provide assistance and support in order to help empower our young people in addressing past and present difficulties.

  • £30 sleep in payment per mandatory sleep-in shift

  • Hours: 40 hours per week on a rotational basis (rota provided 4 weeks in advance)
  • 2 – 3 shifts per week: 08:00am until 11:00pm – with sleep ins

The nature of the work is dynamic and diverse, with each day presenting new and unique tasks – no two days are the same! From organising activities to 1:1 support to attending off-site activities, there is no telling what each day will bring. As a Residential Care Worker, you'll need to be adaptable, flexible and a pro at reading situations to guide our young people towards making positive choices.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Providing emotional support during challenging times

  • Encouraging community engagement, attending off-site activities and expanding their personal social networks
  • Meeting the needs of children and young people, organising social activities and maintaining the home (laundry, cooking, cleaning, shopping etc.)

New staff must be comfortable using an electronic care recording system on a daily basis to document, monitor, and update children and young people’s records accurately. Experience with Clearcare is an advantage, but not essential, as full training will be provided. However, all staff are expected to confidently use digital systems as part of their day-to-day role.

Qualifications/Experience/Requirements:
