About Central & Southern
Locations: Bodmin, Exeter and Credition
At Central & Southern, we provide therapeutic residential care for children and young people who have experienced trauma, loss and adversity. Our homes are more than just places to live, they are safe, nurturing environments where children are supported to heal, grow and build brighter futures.
We currently operate seven children s homes across Devon and Cornwall , giving our teams the opportunity to develop their careers within a growing organisation. We are passionate about promoting from within, and many of our Team Leaders, Deputy Managers, Registered Managers and senior leaders began their careers as Residential Support Workers.
Our approach is therapeutic and relationship-based. We don t believe in simply managing behaviour. Instead, we recognise that behaviour is a form of communication. By building trusting relationships, remaining curious, and responding with empathy, consistency and clear boundaries, we help children feel safe, regulate their emotions and develop the confidence to thrive.
Every day is different. One day you might be helping a young person prepare for school, the next you could be teaching them to cook, supporting them through a difficult conversation, celebrating an achievement, or creating lasting memories on a day out. It s these everyday moments, built on trust and consistency, that have the greatest impact.
When you join Central & Southern, you re joining more than a team, you re joining a community that values its people just as much as the children we support. We invest heavily in training, development and wellbeing because we know that outstanding care starts with outstanding staff.
The Role
As a Residential Support Worker at Central & Southern, you will play a vital role in providing safe, therapeutic and nurturing care to children and young people living in our homes.
You will become a consistent, trusted adult in a child s life, helping them to feel safe, develop positive relationships and achieve the best possible outcomes. Every interaction matters, from supporting a child through a difficult day at school to celebrating their achievements and helping them develop the skills they need for adulthood.
This is a rewarding role, but it also comes with significant responsibility. You will be expected to maintain the highest standards of safeguarding, professionalism and child-centred practice at all times.
Your responsibilities will include:
Safeguarding is everyone s responsibility.
You must be able to recognise signs of abuse, neglect, exploitation and other safeguarding concerns, taking immediate action in accordance with Central & Southern s safeguarding policies. You will be expected to share concerns promptly, record information accurately and work openly with managers and external professionals to protect children from harm.
Working Pattern
Our homes provide care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You will be required to work a rota that includes:
Who We re Looking For
We re looking for people with the right values as much as experience. You ll be someone who:
Residential childcare experience is welcomed but not essential. We provide a comprehensive induction, ongoing training and funded qualifications to help you build a successful career with Central & Southern.
Why join Central & Southern?
Career progression across our seven homes, with pathways into Team Leader, Deputy Manager, Registered Manager and senior leadership roles.
Comprehensive induction and ongoing professional development.
Funded qualifications and specialist training.
Company sick pay.
Care Bonus Scheme, rewarding excellent attendance with a bonus every six months for staff with no sickness absence.
Employee of the Month recognition scheme.
Annual company events including our Summer BBQ, Sports Day and Christmas Awards celebration.
Enhanced pay for sleep-ins and enhanced overtime rate.
Regular supervision, wellbeing support and a leadership team that is approachable, visible and invested in your success.
This isn t just another care job. It s an opportunity to become the trusted adult a child may never have had, helping them build confidence, resilience and the foundations for a brighter future.
