Do you have a NVQ/QCF Level 3 or above in Residential Childcare and enjoy outdoor activities and want to work in a meaningful role supported by experts with genuine opportunities for career progression and personal development?
With Keys Group, you will play a vital role in supporting children and young people aged 8–18 from residential homes, within an activity-based environment. These young individuals often face social, emotional, and mental health challenges.
About Our Centre
You’ll be working in a fun, activity-based environment where no two days are the same. Alongside a supportive and passionate team, and under the guidance of the Service Manager, you’ll be responsible for delivering high-quality care and helping create a safe, welcoming place that feels like home. It’s a chance to make a real difference in the lives of young people who need it most.
There’s a strong focus on getting outdoors and staying active — think mountain biking, wild jumps, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, hill walking, rock climbing, and bouldering. If you love adventure and being outside, you’ll fit right in.
Our Activity and Intervention services offer a twelve-week programme for young people who need a change of scene. It’s all about giving them a break from difficult circumstances, offering a fresh start, and helping them build confidence and positive routines.
Why join us:
- The Real Living Wage as a minimum
- Free meals while on shift
- Full induction and introductory training programme
- Fully funded training and qualifications (care and activities)
- Enhanced pay scales that recognise both qualifications and experience
- Enhanced company maternity & paternity pay leave
- A great employee Benefits programme
- NEST Pension Scheme
- Life assurance
- Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check paid for by us
- 28 days annual leave
