We are looking for a passionate and committed Residential Support Worker to join our Children’s Home team.

This is a rewarding opportunity to work with young people in a supportive, therapeutic environment where you will act as a positive role model and help them develop the skills they need to move successfully into independence.

• Understanding of safeguarding and child protection


• Ability to work as part of a small team


• Strong communication and resilience skills


• Flexibility and reliability


• Willingness to undertake training and development


• Registration (or willingness to register within 6 months) with the relevant care body
