WANT TO WORK IN A SMALL CHILDREN’S HOME WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

We’re opening a brand-new, two-bed children’s home near Spalding and we’re looking for great Residential Support Workers to join the team.

No huge unit.

No endless corridors.

No feeling like just another name on the rota.

Just a small home, a close-knit team and the opportunity to make a real difference to two young people.

£33,488 salary

40.25 hours per week

Day shifts

£2,000 joining bonus!

You’ll also receive ongoing training, support and opportunities to develop your career within children’s residential care.

ABOUT THE HOME

Our new Spalding service will be a small two-bed children’s residential home supporting young people with EBD, SEMH, trauma and complex needs.

Our approach is therapeutic, trauma-informed and relationship-based.

We focus on:

• Positive Behaviour Support
• PACE
• Trauma-informed practice
• Building safe and trusting relationships
• Consistency and clear boundaries
• Helping young people develop confidence and independence

Most importantly, we want the home to feel like exactly that: a home.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

• As a Residential Support Worker, you’ll be part of the young person’s everyday life.
• That means helping with the ordinary things as well as the difficult ones.
• Your role will include:
• Building positive and trusting relationships with young people
• Supporting daily routines and structure
• Helping with education, appointments and activities
• Supporting young people to develop life skills and independence
• Providing emotional support during difficult moments
• Helping young people regulate their emotions
• Promoting positive behaviour and healthy choices
• Supporting safeguarding and following care plans
• Completing clear and accurate records
• Working closely with your colleagues and the Registered Manager
• Helping create a safe, welcoming and homely environment
• Some days will be challenging.
• Some days will be brilliant.
• But every day, you’ll have the opportunity to make a difference.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We’re looking for people with the right attitude.

You’ll need to be:

• Caring and compassionate
• Calm under pressure
• Reliable and consistent
• Confident setting appropriate boundaries
• A good communicator
• Resilient
• Positive and energetic
• Able to work well as part of a small team
• Passionate about supporting young people
• A full UK driving licence holder
• Previous experience in children’s residential care is desirable, but attitude, values and the ability to build strong relationships are just as important.
• A Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare would be advantageous, although training and development can be provided for the right person.
