We are looking for additional staff to join our already established team at our community home in Woking and would love to hear from you if you are motivated by helping children and young people to succeed.
Our Offer to You
About the Role
As a Residential Support Worker, you will be part of a committed team supporting children and young people to ensure their safety and well-being. Our young people often have complex needs and may have experienced trauma in their early lives, making the work we do both challenging and rewarding, with no two days being the same.
We are steadfast in our belief that working alongside children and young people, regardless of the challenges they face, is invaluable. You may not notice the impact you make day-to-day, but over time, this is a role where patience, understanding and the motivation to empathise with what's happening for a particular child or young person will realise long-term positive outcomes. You will play a key part in their journey
We are looking for role models who understand the importance of providing our children and young people with the best life chances possible and who can demonstrate positive values and behaviours. Our standards are high, and we pride ourselves on prioritising the well-being and safety of our children.
We support children and young people using therapeutic interventions and restorative practice to help them to navigate challenging situations, develop appropriate coping strategies and build healthy relationships.
We are looking for individuals to join us who can assist with day-to-day tasks around the home, can prioritise effectively, communicate articulately, and are ambitious for our young people, helping them to reach their full potential.
In this role every day brings new challenges, unexpected situations, and surprises so you will need to be calm, adaptable, and able to bring a sense of fun to how you work and interact with our children and young people. You may find yourself wearing many different hats throughout your day from mentor helping to navigate or overcome a difficult situation, to tutor helping with homework, to parent helping with bedtime routines. Whatever the role you play, it will be purposeful!
Supporting You
We are dedicated to providing consistent care and building effective relationships, not just with our children and young people, but with each other and with our partner organisations and colleagues who support us with our work.
We will support you to achieve the mandatory, nationally recognised, Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (within two years of starting) if you don't already have this. We have a proven track record of supporting staff to pass their qualification and are proud of the achievements of all staff we invest in. Gaining this qualification will open opportunities for you to progress to a Senior Residential Worker (starting at 34,660 per annum) along with helping you grow the skills needed to be an effective Residential Worker.

We offer a clearly defined career pathway and progression opportunities with our expanding children's residential service as we continue our journey to open further homes this year and beyond. You will have access to a wealth of personal development and resources to ensure you feel confident to succeed and progress in your role, working as part of a wider network with support from professionals such as psychologists and our Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) service to enrich your practice.

However, it is an important safeguarding measure that staff must be willing and able to use when there is no safer alternative.

We are excited to be hiring Children's Residential Workers to join our fantastic team, based at our home in Guildford!
As a 24/7 service operating all year round, our roles work on a rota basis. Shifts are usually between 10 and 12 hours to ensure consistent care for our children and young people, though this may vary slightly depending on staffing arrangements and the needs of our children and young people.
We'll talk through shift patterns and rotas during the Teams call so you're clear on what to expect.
Our Offer to You
Our Residential Workers turn our Residential Houses into Homes!
Residential Support Workers are the backbone of our children's homes, working directly with our children to provide them with a safe, nurturing, and supportive home environment. They proactively engage our children in activities that promote positive physical, emotional, and social development, helping them recognise the benefits and sense of purpose these can provide.
Our home in Guildford supports children who experience social and emotional difficulties, and we are looking for motivated and engaged individuals to join the team to work directly with our children. No two days in our home are the same, so be prepared to expect the unexpected!
About the Role
We want our homes to be nurturing, fun and inspirational places where our young people feel safe to be themselves and can rely on us to guide, care, and support them to grow and thrive whatever their challenges.
Building effective relationships, co-ordinating activities and holidays, creating meaningful care plans, working together with partner organisations, writing reports and ensuring records are kept clear and up to date are some of the ways our Residential Workers support our children.
Like all supportive, caring, and compassionate home environments; no two days are the same, they throw up complex and challenging situations and are on 24/7 - 365 days of the year. So, let's be honest, if you are looking for a 9-5 job which is straight forward and predictable, you might want to sit this one out.
While the role can be challenging, the rewards can be profound. Watching a child grow in confidence, develop new skills, and begin to believe in their future is an experience like no other.
Supporting You
We are dedicated to providing consistent care and building effective relationships, not just with our children and young people, but with each other and with our partner organisations and colleagues who we collaborate with.
We will support and invest in you to achieve the mandatory, nationally recognised, Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (within two years of starting) if you do not already have this.

You will have access to a wealth of personal development and resources to ensure you feel confident to succeed and progress in your role, working as part of a wider network with support from professionals such as Psychologists and our Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) service to enrich your practice.
Shortlisting Criteria
This opportunity would suit someone with a calm, proactive, and solution-focused outlook, who can build meaningful relationships based on trust and mutual respect. Experience in residential care, mental health, youth work, probation, or family services is valuable, but we also welcome transferable experience from education, sports coaching, or other people-focused roles. What matters most is your motivation and ability to connect with children, understanding how you can encourage and engage them to make healthy, meaningful and positive choices.
