From the moment you open the door and enter one of our services, you become something more than you once were.
You enter a place our young people call home, where a simple grin can brighten a young person’s day, listening can save and shape lives, and being present on time has a profound impact.
Walking through the door at Cambian means making a direct impact on the futures of young people in our care. Asking “how was school?” is more than a casual question; it’s about stability, genuine interest, and listening. It helps break barriers, unlock confidence, and shows that you are here and that this place is safe.
Our Residential Care Workers are essential to the development of the young people in our homes. Challenges will arise, including lows and highs, but every step forward is worth celebrating, and a simple “well done” goes a long way!
Our homes accommodate young people aged 8-18 from diverse backgrounds with varying social, emotional, and mental health needs. Our goal is to create the best possible outcomes so each young person can reach their full potential.
The days can be long, but you will make a real difference daily by ensuring minimal disruption to their lives and filling their days with meaningful interactions that others might take for granted.
Your responsibilities include helping them start their day—whether for school or a trip to the park—making the environment feel like “home” by tidying up, helping with homework, or preparing dinner. Evenings and weekends are for fun activities like playing video games, board games, or going to the movies.
Yes, there is paperwork and planning involved, but supporting our young people is never boring. The days may be long, but time flies, and the work is meaningful.
