Residential Child Care Worker

at  Pebbles Care Ltd

Are you looking for a role where your input can make a genuine difference in the lives of children and young people?
Pebbles Care has an incredible opportunity near Carlisle and Penrith for you to partner with our established team to become an essential part of our children’s lives. This will include every aspect of home life, from school preparation and household chores to making lasting memories through fun-filled activities and outings.
Enjoy working with children and have the resilience to deal with challenging behaviours while still being able to offer a caring and supportive therapeutic approach. This may be the perfect opportunity for you.

You will work full-time, an average of 56.4 hours per week (including sleep hours), as part of a team on the shift. Depending on the child’s needs, you may provide support on a one-to-one or two-to-one basis.
You will benefit from expert advice and training from our psychology, education, and learning and development specialists.
Safeguarding our young people from risk and harm is our main priority. With the support of your team, you will ensure that our children and young people are cared for in every element of their lives, including keeping them safe, having someone to talk to, having fun, supporting them in education, travelling to school, cooking, cleaning, and learning new life skills.
You will be required to drive our company vehicles to ensure our young people attend appointments, education, and other activities. Therefore, you must have a full, valid, UK driving licence for manual vehicles. If you have a licence from overseas, we require you to apply for a UK driving licence upon receiving an offer of employment.
The role is challenging and requires resilience, determination, and patience. Your role will allow you to be creative when caring for our children and young people. Your skills, hobbies, and interests will bring additional inspiration to our homes.
You will be based within one home on a full-time basis. However, you may occasionally be required to support other homes within the same geographical area.
