Everything you do matters
From the moment you open the door and enter one of our services, you become more than what you once were.
You enter the place our young people call home, a place where a smile can brighten a young person’s day, where listening can save and shape lives. Simply being on time and present has a significant impact here.
Walking through the door at Cambian means directly impacting the futures of the young people in our care. Asking “how was school?” is more than small talk; it’s about stability, showing genuine interest, and listening. It helps break barriers, unlock confidence, and shows that they are safe.
Our Residential Care Workers are vital to the development of our young people. Challenges will arise, with 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 outcomes, helping each young person 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 might overlook.
Your responsibilities include preparing young people for the day, whether for school or activities, maintaining a homely environment, helping with homework, or preparing dinner. Evenings and weekends are for fun—playing games, watching movies, or trips out.
While paperwork and planning are part of the role, supporting young people is never dull. The days may be long, but the work is meaningful and rewarding.
