The Heart of the Matter: Connection Changes Everything
This isn't about filling shifts – it's about filling lives with possibility. In this small residential home, you'll become the steady presence for children who've known too much chaos. Some will barely reach your waist, others might tower over you – all will need your patience, your creativity, your unwavering belief in their potential.
You'll work in the spaces between therapy sessions and lesson plans, finding teachable moments in shared meals and quiet conversations. The child who refuses to eat breakfast becomes your project. The teenager who won't make eye contact becomes your priority. This is work that demands everything and gives back more.
Who Thrives in This Role?
We welcome individuals from all walks of life who share our passion for making a difference. Whether you're a:
* Support workers that love helping those most in need.
* Care Assistant looking for new challenges
* Nurse seeking meaningful one-on-one connections
* Teacher wanting to support beyond the classroom
* Sports Coach who understands the power of engagement
...we want to hear from you.
Why Your Presence Matters
In residential care, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. The meal you share becomes a lesson in social skills. The walk you take becomes emotional regulation practice. The bedtime routine becomes safety embodied. Research shows it takes just one stable relationship to change a child's trajectory – you could be that person.
What We Offer Beyond Pay
* A team that has your back when days get tough
* Training that sharpens your instincts
* Flexibility to honor your other commitments
* The profound satisfaction of being part of someone's breakthrough story
