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 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with criminal exploitation, emotional and mental health needs, and behaviours that can present as reserved or withdrawn.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.

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:
