Additional Information

We are looking for enthusiastic Children's Residential Support Worker's to join our amazing team, building strong relationships and fostering a warm, supportive, and rewarding environment to the children and young people in our care. No two days are the same in this dynamic and fulfilling role! From planning engaging activities and providing one-on-one support to accompanying young people on off-site trips, each day presents new challenges and opportunities. As a residential care worker, you'll need to be adaptable, flexible, and skilled at reading situations to help guide young people towards making positive choices. For this role, whilst experience is preferred it is not necessary - if you have a positive, can-do attitude and the passion to make a real, meaningful difference to the lives of children and young people then this is the perfect role for you! 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.
