Everything you do matters
From the moment you open the door and enter one of our services, you become more than you were before.
You enter a place our young people call home, where a simple smile can brighten a day, listening can save and shape lives, and being present and punctual has a significant impact.
Joining Cambian means directly influencing the futures of the young people in our care. Asking “how was school?” is more than a routine question; it’s about stability, genuine interest, and listening. It helps break barriers, unlock confidence, and shows that this is a safe space.
Our Residential Care Workers are essential to the development of our young people. Challenges will arise, but every step forward is a cause for celebration, and a kind word can make a difference.
Our homes support young people aged 8-18 from diverse backgrounds with varying social, emotional, and mental health needs. Our goal is to create the best outcomes, helping each individual reach their full potential.
The days can be long but…
You will make a real difference daily, ensuring minimal disruption and filling their days with meaningful interactions that others may overlook.
Your responsibilities include preparing young people for the day, whether for school or activities, maintaining a homely environment, helping with homework, preparing meals, and engaging in fun activities like games or outings during evenings and weekends.
While paperwork and planning are part of the role, supporting our young people is rewarding. The days may be long, but the work is impactful.
