ABOUT US

We’re a specialist 3-bed children’s residential home supporting young people aged 5–17 with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD). These children are in the care system, often having experienced trauma, neglect, or instability.
We provide a safe, stable, and nurturing home that helps children heal, grow, and thrive. As a Senior Residential Support Worker, you will be part of a passionate, close-knit team making a meaningful difference—every single day.

THE ROLE

As a Senior Support Worker, you’ll be a role model for both young people and staff. You’ll take the lead on shifts, support with care planning, guide less experienced colleagues, and play a key role in providing consistency, structure, and emotional safety for the young people in our care.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

✔ Lead Shifts – Manage daily routines, delegate tasks, and ensure the smooth running of the home
✔ Provide Emotional Support – Build strong, therapeutic relationships with young people, using trauma-informed approaches
✔ Safeguarding First – Always promote and protect the safety and welfare of the children
✔ Be Hands-On – Support with school runs, appointments, household tasks, and community activities
✔ Report Writing & Key Working – Maintain clear, accurate records and take the lead on care plans where appropriate
✔ Support Behaviour Management – Confidently de-escalate challenging behaviour and promote positive routines
✔ Mentor & Guide – Support junior staff through coaching, supervision, and leading by example
✔ Work Collaboratively – Communicate effectively with external professionals, families, and the management team
