Are you compassionate, patient, and dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of children with complex needs? Are you ready to provide essential support and guidance to help children thrive? If so, we have a rewarding opportunity for you.
This is a 4-bed mixed-gender children's home currently supporting three young people aged between 13 and 15 years old (1 girl and 2 boys). The young people are active and enjoy social activities, so we are seeking positive, engaging, and energetic individuals who can build meaningful relationships, encourage participation, and act as positive role models.
The young people may experience challenges relating to missing-from-home incidents, risks associated with criminal exploitation, emotional and mental health needs, and behaviours that can present as reserved or withdrawn.

Role Overview
As a Residential Support Worker, you will play a crucial role in the daily lives of Looked After Children, providing care, support, and guidance. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team to create individualised care plans and implement therapeutic interventions. Your patience, empathy, and strong communication skills will help you manage challenging behaviours and support the children's emotional and developmental needs.

A vibrant Secondary Academy in Blackpool (FY postcode area) is seeking a compassionate, resilient support practitioner to join their pastoral and inclusion team. Your background in residential childcare equips you with the exact emotional intelligence, de-escalation skills, and trauma-informed mindset needed to support vulnerable secondary school students.
Working in children's residential homes gives you an exceptional foundation for secondary school pastoral care:
De-escalation & Crisis Management: You know how to stay calm, set boundaries, and manage emotionally charged situations safely.

Rapport Building: You have proven success in earning trust and forming meaningful working relationships with disengaged or vulnerable teenagers.
Safeguarding Expertise: You already possess a sharp awareness of child protection legislation, recording procedures, and duty of care.
Support students aged 11-16 with SEMH, behavioural barriers, or additional pastoral needs within the academy's inclusion unit and mainstream classrooms.
Work 1:1 and in small groups to boost student engagement, emotional resilience, and attendance.
Intervene early to diffuse potential conflicts and guide pupils through calming strategies.
Partner with the SENCo, pastoral leads, designated safeguarding officers, and class teachers to track student progress and wellbeing.
Minimum 6 months' experience in children's residential care, youth work, supported housing, or social care.
Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (Children and Young People's Workforce) is advantageous, but practical experience and attitude matter most.
Training in physical intervention/de-escalation (e.g., Team-Teach, MAPA/CPI, Price) is highly beneficial.
Strong communication skills, patience, and a non-judgmental, restorative approach.
Enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or willing to complete one).
Work-Life Balance: Set daytime hours (8:30 am - 3:30 pm) with all evenings, weekends, and school holidays free.
Competitive Pay: Reliable, weekly pay via PAYE with full holiday accrual.
Professional Growth: Free accredited CPD courses in education-specific SEND strategies, Team-Teach, and classroom practice.
Impact: Direct, visible impact helping local Blackpool teenagers stay in education and achieve their potential.
Make the switch to education and bring your care background to a setting where it matters every single day.
