Job Description:

Looking for a job where you can truly make a difference? Join our team as a Children’s Residential Worker and help shape brighter futures for young people who need it most. Whether you have previous experience working with children and young people or you’re looking for a career change, if you’ve got the dedication, resilience, and drive to support children through life’s challenges, we want to hear from you. This isn’t your average 9–5. As a Residential Worker, you’ll be part of a close-knit team providing a positive living experience for our resident young people, caring for their physical, emotional, and social needs in a safe, supportive home environment. It’s a role that’s as rewarding as it is challenging—and no two days are ever the same.

Job Responsibility:

  • Supporting young people with daily routines, meals, and activities

  • Building trusting relationships and being a positive role model

  • Celebrating achievements, big or small, and encouraging independence
  • Providing a warm, accepting environment that meets the diverse needs of individuals
  • Promoting equal opportunities and challenge discriminatory practices within the Home
  • Work a mix of day and night shifts, helping with everything from morning routines and school runs to days out, bedtime stories and emotional support during tough times
  • Work alongside social workers, health professionals, and families to make sure each child’s care plan is followed and adapted to their needs
  • Shift work to ensure 24-hour care, including sleeping in duties as required

Requirements:

  • Empathetic and patient, with a genuine passion for helping young people
  • Great communicators, able to listen, understand, and respond calmly
  • Team players, who can also take initiative and work independently
  • Resilient, able to work in an emotionally and and/or physically demanding environment
  • Flexible, adaptable to change, and able to work shifts including nights and weekends
  • Committed, to providing equal opportunities and valuing diversity
  • Experience working with children or vulnerable people (paid or voluntary)
  • A full UK driving licence and access to a car
  • Basic IT skills (you’ll be recording notes and using digital systems)
  • Level 2/3 Diploma in Residential Childcare or willingness to complete training and work towards this qualification
What we offer:
  • Health and well-being initiatives including an Employee Assistance Programme, Mental Health First Aiders and mindfulness workshops
  • a unified voice through our Employee Representative Group
  • ongoing support, and the opportunity to develop and progress in your career with us
  • opportunities to take part in fun activities such as fundraising and social events
  • flexible and agile working arrangements
  • discounts on various Cafés, restaurants, shops
  • auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme
  • opportunity to gain membership to Costco
