We're not looking for heroes.
Heroes turn up, save the day and leave.
The children who live with us need something much rarer.
They need adults who stay.
Adults who keep showing up, even when trust takes time. Adults who remain calm when emotions run high. Adults who understand that sometimes the most important thing you can offer a child is consistency.
The children who live in our homes have experienced significant challenges in their lives. Some have learning disabilities, autism, or complex emotional needs. Many have learnt through experience that adults don't always stick around.
That's where you come in.

Success in this role doesn't always look the way people imagine.
Sometimes it's helping a child attend school for the first time in weeks.
Sometimes it's teaching a young person how to cook their favourite meal.
Sometimes it's supporting someone through a difficult day safely.
Sometimes it's hearing a child laugh more than they did when they first moved in.
The biggest achievements are rarely dramatic.
They're usually found in hundreds of ordinary moments that, over time, help children feel safer, happier and more confident about their future.

What you'll be doing
As a Residential Therapeutic Care Worker, you'll be part of a child's everyday life.
You'll help create a home where children feel safe, valued and encouraged to achieve their potential.
You'll support with:

• Daily routines, school runs and appointments
• Activities, hobbies and new experiences
• Building confidence, independence and life skills
• Supporting children through difficult emotions
• Working alongside families and professionals
• Recording and celebrating progress
• Creating a warm, safe and nurturing home environment

• Resilient and emotionally aware
• Calm under pressure
• Good at building relationships
• Willing to learn and reflect
• Committed to helping children thrive

• Salary: 29,232 per year
• Additional sleep-in payments paid at 80 per sleep in.
• Full-time, permanent role
• Mixture of long days, evenings, weekends and sleep-ins
• Fully funded training and qualifications
• Ongoing development and progression opportunities
• Regular supervision and reflective practice
