Senior Children’s Residential Support Worker – EBD
? Location: Vale of Belvoir
? Pay: £32,000 – £38,500 a year (depending on number of sleep in’s)
? Type: Full-time | Includes evenings, weekends & sleep-ins
We create memories and experiences for our children that last a lifetime; where they feel truly loved, cared for, safe and secure.
? Make a Real Difference – And Take Your Next Step in Care
Are you ready to step into a senior role where you can lead, support, and truly change young lives?
We’re Edison Young People, and we provide warm, family-style homes for children and young people with emotional and behavioural needs. Right now, we’re looking for a Senior Residential Support Worker to help guide a small, passionate team and create a positive daily routine for the children in our care.
? What the Role Involves
No two days are the same, but your focus will always be on creating a safe, supportive, and positive space for the young people in your care — and leading by example.

You’ll:

• Take the lead on shifts and support the care team
• Be a steady, caring presence for the children
• Help with daily routines — meals, school runs, downtime, and activities
• Use trauma-informed care to build trust and connection
• Encourage positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing
• Keep the house running smoothly and safely — including paperwork and compliance
• Work closely with the Deputy/Registered Manager to build leadership skills

? What You’ll Get from Us

We value your experience — and we make sure you feel it:

• ? £14.70 per hour + £47.25 per sleep-in
• ? Refer-a-friend bonus – earn up to £500!
• ? Blue Light Card – discounts across shops, restaurants & more
• ? Cashback scheme – dental, optical & physio support
• ? Free meals on shift – because we eat together, just like a family
• ? Health Shield – wellbeing, counselling & financial advice
• ? Excellent training and leadership development from day one
• ?‍? Full induction & continuous mentoring from experienced leaders

? What We’re Looking For

To hit the ground running as a Senior Support Worker, you’ll need:

• Experience working with children or young people in residential care (EBD or similar)
• Calm, confident leadership qualities – you don’t have to be a manager yet, just ready to guide and support others
• A commitment to trauma-informed, child-centred care
• Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare
• Full UK driving licence and age 21+
• Flexibility for rota work including sleep-ins

? Why Edison?
Because we don’t just talk about making a difference — we live it. You’ll be part of a supportive team where everyone looks out for each other. A place where kids learn to trust again, and where staff grow into leaders. This isn’t just a job. It’s a place to build your future and change someone else’s.
? We’re committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All roles are subject to enhanced DBS checks and references.
? Please note: We are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.
