Are you ready to be the person who changes a young person's trajectory?
I am currently looking for several passionate and resilient Residential Care Workers to join a forward-thinking therapeutic home in Swansea. I've partnered with this provider because they don't just "provide a bed"-they cultivate resilience. They are looking for people who see past "challenging behaviour" to the young person underneath.
The Opportunity
Working with young people aged 8-17 in looked-after care, you will be joining a team that prioritises empowerment over control. This is a chance to work in an environment that is trauma-informed and deeply committed to the physical and emotional wellbeing of both staff and residents.
Your Impact:
* Be a Role Model: You'll manage the day-to-day "rhythm of the home"-from meal prep and activities to helping with transport and school runs.
* Provide Stability: Many of these young people have faced significant trauma; you will be the consistent, safe adult who helps them navigate their world.
* Clinical Excellence: You'll deliver care aligned with bespoke individual plans, including medication administration and progress reporting.
* Champion Inclusion: Support young people with diverse needs, including ASD and sensory disabilities, ensuring their voices are heard in every decision.
Why work with me on this?
* Competitive Pay and Annual Performance Bonus.
* Career Growth: My client is a big believer in "Continuous Improvement"-they will invest in your training and personal development from day one.
* The Perks: Free on-site parking, a solid company pension, and a culture that celebrates "one step together."
* Stability: This is a permanent, full-time role with a structured shift pattern in a brand-new 2025 service.
What you'll need to bring:
* The Basics: You MUST have a Full UK Driving Licence.
* The Experience: At least some experience in children's residential, social work, or assisted living is essential.
* The Knowledge: A solid grip on child development, safeguarding, and care regulations.
* The Heart: Resilience, compassion, and a "can-do" attitude are non-negotiable.
* Bonus Points: If you have a Level 2 in Health & Social Care or experience in Positive Behaviour Management (PBM), I want to hear from you today.
