Nurture Child Care Services (part of the Pebbles Care Group) is delighted to share that we are currently recruiting full-time Residential Support Workers across our sites in Lancashire.
If you enjoy working with children and can offer support with a caring, therapeutic approach, we would love to hear from you!
Our two-bed services offer an incredible opportunity for you to work in partnership with our existing team and become an essential part of our children’s lives.
Your role as a Residential Support Worker

During your induction, you will learn about our therapeutic care model in training with our Learning and Development team. Our Psychology, Education, and Senior Management Team will also help you with expert support and guidance.
You will be based within one home on a full-time basis. However, you may occasionally be required to support other homes within the same geographical area.
