Make Every Day Count
Are you ready to be the reason a child feels safe, supported, and seen?
Do you believe every young person deserves love, security, and the chance to thrive?
If you're nodding "yes," then this is more than a job - it's your calling. Join our warm, dedicated team and make a lasting impact in the lives of children and young people aged 12-17, many of whom have faced trauma, neglect, abuse, or are living with neurodiversity, learning difficulties, or mental health challenges.
About the Role
As a Residential Children's Worker, you'll be more than a carer - you'll be a mentor, a safe space, and a steady presence in the lives of children who need you most.

Support emotional, educational, and social development every step of the way
Help young people rebuild trust, confidence, and hope
Work within a supportive team driven by strong values and a clear purpose

We're not looking for superheroes - just real people who care deeply and show up with heart, courage, and commitment.
You'll thrive in this role if you are:
Kind, calm, and resilient under pressure
A natural relationship-builder who leads with empathy and respect
Committed to giving every child a voice and the opportunity to shine
What You'll Need
A Level 3 Diploma in Children & Young People's Workforce (or a willingness to gain it - fully funded through our Apprenticeship programme)
A warm, down-to-earth personality
Flexibility to work shifts, including evenings and weekends on a rota
What You'll Get in Return
We take care of our people so they can take care of others:
Competitive salary: £25,905.73 - £28,410.65 (pro-rata for part-time)
30 days paid annual leave (including bank holidays), increasing with length of service
Enhanced family leave: maternity, paternity, adoption & shared parental
Pension scheme & life assurance
Ongoing training, qualifications & career progression
Supportive team culture with regular supervision & appraisals
Employee recognition schemes, perks & rewards
