About Us:

This is a new residential provision focused on supporting children transitioning from a specialised secure environment. We provide a psychologically informed, therapeutic environment to help young people move from physical security to relational security, offering Residential Care, Education, and Health support.

Are you ready to be the difference a child needs?

We're launching an innovative new residential service in St Helens designed to support children as they move from secure environments to a more nurturing, relationship-based setting. This is more than just a job - it's a chance to help young people heal, grow, and thrive.

Your Role as a Specialist Childcare Worker:

You'll be part of a close-knit, therapeutic team offering trauma-informed care, where safety is built through trust - not locks and barriers.

  • Create a warm, caring space where children feel safe and respected

  • Deliver support grounded in compassion and understanding of trauma

  • Be a consistent, reliable figure in a young person's journey to a brighter future

  • Contribute to care plans and psychological formulations

  • Empower children to develop life skills and independence

Who We're Looking For:

You don't need years of experience - just the right attitude and passion for making a difference.

  • Level 3 Diploma in Children and Young People's Workforce (or willing to train)

  • Empathy, patience, and a positive approach

  • A solid understanding of trauma, or a keen willingness to learn

  • Commitment to treating every child with dignity and respect

What You'll Get in Return:

  • Competitive Salary: £25,905 - £28,410 per year

  • Up to 33 Days Annual Leave (including bank holidays)

  • Pension & Life Assurance Schemes

  • Enhanced Family Leave Options

  • Full Induction & Ongoing Training

  • Career Progression Opportunities

  • Recognition & Rewards - Including a Recommend-a-Friend bonus

  • Exclusive Discounts & Perks

Be part of something meaningful.

We're not just offering a job - we're offering the chance to transform lives. If you're compassionate, committed, and ready to grow alongside the young people you support, we want to hear from you.

Apply now and take the first step toward a rewarding future.

Join a team where your work changes lives - one child at a time.
