Are you a caring and resilient individual looking to make a lasting difference in the lives of young people?

GSL Education are seeking a dedicated Residential Support Worker to join a nurturing residential school or care provision in Doncaster that supports children and young people with additional needs, including autism, emotional and behavioural difficulties, and complex trauma backgrounds. This is a highly rewarding role for individuals who are passionate about safeguarding and empowering vulnerable children.

In this role, you will be providing both emotional and practical support in a residential setting. You will help children develop life skills, maintain routines, and access educational and recreational activities, while ensuring a safe and structured environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Support children and young people with their daily routines, including personal care, meals, and activities.
Build positive and trusting relationships through consistent and supportive interactions.
Work collaboratively with education staff, therapists, and families to promote individual development.
Respond calmly and effectively to challenging behaviours, following personalised behaviour management plans.
Encourage and assist in the development of independent living skills and emotional regulation.
Maintain accurate records, reports and contribute to care plans and progress tracking.
Requirements:

Must have experience working in residential.
Previous experience working in residential care, children’s services, or with young people with SEND/SEMH needs is desirable.
A compassionate, patient and resilient approach to supporting vulnerable individuals.
Relevant qualifications (e.g. NVQ Level 3 in Children and Young People’s Workforce) are an advantage but not essential.
An enhanced DBS on the update service or willingness to apply for one through GSL Education.
If you're committed to safeguarding, resilience, and making a real difference in children's lives, this could be the perfect role for you.

Please be advised that this role requires a strong knowledge and understanding of safeguarding and child protection and that successful applicants must satisfy all background safer recruitment checks; including providing an enhanced DBS certificate registered on the update service, or completing an application for a new check.
