Join to apply for the Childrens Residential Support Worker role at AMAIS France.
We are recruiting for a small, specialist therapeutic childrens’ home in Chatham that supports just 8 children aged 5-10 with EBD and complex trauma backgrounds. This is a long‑term placement home, where children typically stay 23 years, allowing staff to build genuine, meaningful relationships.
About The Home
* Trauma‑informed, nurturing, and relationship‑led care
* Children transition to foster families around age 11‑12
* In‑house tutor for children not currently in education
* Strong focus on enrichment, routine, and emotional safety
Children Enjoy
* Daily enrichment activities
* Group therapeutic games every weekday evening
* After‑school clubs (dance, karate, extra classes)
* Annual summer camping trip and regular outings (All community activities are fully risk‑assessed and supervised)
The Role
* Provide consistent, loving, and therapeutic care
* Support emotional regulation, routines, and daily life
* Build long‑term attachments and act as a positive role model
* Work closely with the therapeutic team and education support
* Use a therapeutic parenting approach; appropriate affection, comfort, and nurturing are encouraged
Who They're Looking For
* Reliable, resilient, and emotionally intelligent individuals
* Experience in residential care, schools, or family support is ideal (family practitioner or school‑based experience is highly transferable)
* Confident supporting children with trauma and challenging behaviours
* Warm personality, calm under pressure, and genuinely child‑focused
* Passion for long‑term impact rather than short‑term placements
* This is a role for someone who wants to really parent, not just supervise.
Training, Development & Progression
* Level 3 Children & Young People qualification fully funded
* Enrolled onto Level 3 immediately if unqualified
* NAPPI Level 3 (challenging behaviour) training provided
* Further education, apprenticeships, and progression fully supported
