Ready for a New and Rewarding Opportunity?
Do you have a passion for supporting children and young people to thrive? We’re looking for a compassionate, committed individual to join a nurturing emotional wellbeing home as a Childrens Residential Support Worker.
🌟 About the Role
This role is part of a unique and forward-thinking initiative, delivered in partnership with a leading children's charity and the local County Council. The aim: to provide high-quality, therapeutic residential care for some of Leicestershire’s most vulnerable children and young people.
Based in Coalville, the home supports up to three young people aged 8–18. You’ll help create a stable, supportive environment that encourages growth, confidence, and emotional wellbeing. Flexibility is essential, as occasional cover may be required at similar homes in Hinckley and Syston.
👩👧👦 What You’ll Do
*
Build strong, nurturing relationships that support independence and emotional resilience
*
Collaborate with families, schools, and other professionals
*
Assist with everyday tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and maintaining a safe home
*
Accurately maintain care records and documentation
*
Ensure safeguarding and health & safety standards are consistently upheld
✅ What We’re Looking For
*
Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or commitment to achieve it within set timeframe – fully funded)
*
A genuine desire to make a difference in young lives
*
A sound understanding of safeguarding practices
*
Flexibility to work shifts, including sleep-ins, weekends, and bank holidays
*
Experience with children or young people is an advantage, but not essential—attitude and willingness to learn are what matter most
