About Our Client
Our client is a trusted provider of children’s residential services, committed to creating safe, nurturing homes where children can thrive.

As a Senior Support Worker, you’ll play a vital role in leading and mentoring a dedicated team, ensuring the highest standards of care for children in our Ollerton solo placement home. This is a low-risk, nurturing environment focused on emotional wellbeing, routine, and personal growth—not a setting where you face aggressive behaviours daily.

* Support the development and implementation of individual care plans
* Foster positive relationships and emotional wellbeing for children
* Collaborate with management and external professionals to coordinate care
What We Offer:
* Salary: £33,500 – £36,500 per year
* Regular working pattern for better work-life balance
* Comprehensive training and development with increases in salary attached to completion.
* Clear progression pathways into management roles
* Supportive leadership and well-resourced homes
What We’re Looking For:
* QCF Level 3/4 (essential); Level 5 (desirable)
* Minimum 2 years’ experience in residential childcare with leadership skills
* Strong understanding of child development and safeguarding
