Summary
About Us:
At Bwthyn Y Ddol and Hafan y Wern, we believe in the profound privilege of sharing the life space of children. Our homes are more than just safe places — they are nurturing environments where young people feel supported, understood, and valued.
Our Residential Childcare Workers do more than just see children occasionally. They provide consistent, 24/7 care — walking alongside young people through the ups and downs of their daily lives, helping them make sense of their world, and supporting them to thrive.
These two purpose-built homes in Conwy offer innovative, child-centred residential services. We work as a multi-disciplinary team to meet the physical, emotional, and social needs of young people — helping them build resilience and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Job Overview:
We are looking for experienced and compassionate Residential Childcare Workers to join our team and work flexibly across both Bwthyn Y Ddol and Hafan y Wern.

This is more than just a job — it’s an opportunity to have a meaningful, lasting impact on a child’s life.
What You Will Do:
Actively safeguard and promote the welfare of children at all times.
Establish clear structure, boundaries, and routines to support children with their education and daily living.
Create a warm, consistent, and nurturing environment for vulnerable children.
Undertake sleep-in duties and work unsociable hours, including some waking nights.
Build trusted relationships with young people, helping them manage difficult emotions and behaviours.
Work flexibly across both residential homes to meet the needs of the service and young people.
Support the reunification of children with their families where appropriate.
What We’re Looking For:
A friendly, supportive, and resilient individual with a positive, can-do attitude.
A solid understanding of safeguarding, trauma-informed practice, and child development.
An ability to build meaningful, professional relationships with children and their families.
Experience supporting young people in a therapeutic, structured setting.
Additional Information:
All successful candidates will require an enhanced DBS check.
Flexibility is essential, as you will be working across both homes depending on service needs.
Therapeutic training and ongoing support will be provided.
