We are currently looking for dedicated, caring Residential Support Workers to join our team near New Milton.
Children will be provided with 1:1 support during the day so that they can form positive attachments with adults without the need to compete for their attention with others. Children are typically aged between 13-18 and experience anxiety, mental health difficulties and occasional emotional distress. They are supported by nurturing staff who provide them with the love and security they need to grow, develop and recover from past experiences.
