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.

This is a small, focused home supporting a maximum of two young people, which means you’ll have the time to build genuine relationships, provide consistent support and be part of creating a home that feels safe, calm and welcoming.

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.

THE PACKAGE

£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.
