As a Residential Support Worker, you'll play a vital role in providing safety, stability, and emotional support to children and young people living in residential care. Working within a minimum 2:1 staffing ratio, you'll help create a nurturing environment where young people can grow, heal, and thrive.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building positive, trusting relationships with young people

• Keeping accurate daily records (emotions, routines, activities, food diaries, etc.)
• Supporting young people with budgeting and maintaining receipts
• Identifying and reporting safeguarding concerns promptly
• Assisting with personal care and household tasks when required
• Managing challenging behaviour with patience, resilience, and confidence

What We're Looking For

• A caring, professional, and non-judgemental attitude
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills
• Emotional resilience and the ability to remain calm under pressure
• Good attention to detail when writing notes and reports
• Experience in social care or similar roles (advantageous but not essential)
• Level 3 Health & Social Care qualification (preferred)
• A valid DBS (we can support your application)
• A driving licence is a bonus due to varied locations

What You'll Get in Return

• A rewarding career where every day is different
• The chance to make a lasting impact on a young person's life
• Competitive hourly pay + mileage reimbursement
