Are you passionate about supporting children and young people through challenging times? This role offers the opportunity to make a genuine difference within a small, specialist residential service that provides trauma-informed, child-centred care to young people with complex emotional, mental health, and behavioural needs.
About us
We are a specialist provider supporting children and young people with complex mental health, emotional, and behavioural needs. Our services are rooted in a trauma-informed, child-centred approach, offering a safe and nurturing environment where young people can stabilise, rebuild trust, and develop confidence.
Through consistent care, structured routines, and access to specialist interventions and therapies, we are focusing on achieving meaningful, long-term outcomes for every young person they support. The team works closely with families, education providers, and external professionals to ensure care is holistic, collaborative, and tailored to individual needs.
About The Role
As a Children's Support Worker, you will provide day-to-day care and emotional support, helping children and young people feel safe, understood, and valued. You will work within a residential setting operating on a 24-hour rota, including weekends, with shifts typically lasting 12.5 hours.
You will support the creation of positive routines and meaningful experiences, encourage educational engagement, and contribute to care planning, reviews, and key-work sessions. Working closely with therapists, schools, families, and other professionals, you will play a vital role in supporting stability, confidence, and long-term positive outcomes.
This is a dynamic and rewarding role where no two days are the same — from shared activities and outdoor time to being a calm, consistent presence during difficult moments. You do not need to be perfect, but you do need to be patient, resilient, and genuinely caring.
