Are you passionate about making a lasting difference in the lives of children and young people?
We’re looking for a Senior Residential Childcare Worker to join a nurturing, trauma-informed children’s home where every child is given the chance to thrive, grow, and feel truly valued.

You’ll be part of a dedicated team providing structured, compassionate care for children affected by trauma. Your role will involve supporting them through positive role modelling, consistent boundaries, and meaningful opportunities – helping them build confidence, independence, and brighter futures.

Your Role Will Include:

  • Providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing home environment.
  • Advocating for each child’s needs, rights, and aspirations.
  • Leading by example and supporting staff to deliver exceptional care.
  • Encouraging skill development, problem-solving, and life skills.
  • Maintaining high safeguarding and quality standards.
  • Supervising staff and overseeing key working responsibilities.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Previous experience in a senior role within children’s residential care.
  • Strong understanding of trauma-informed practice.
  • Excellent safeguarding knowledge.
  • Ability to lead, motivate, and support a team.
  • Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent) essential.

What’s On Offer:

  • Competitive salary + sleep-in payments.
  • Generous annual leave (24 days + bank holidays, rising with service).
  • Ongoing training, supervision, and career development.
  • Pension scheme, healthcare cash plan & life insurance.
  • Employee referral bonus scheme.

If you’re ready to bring your passion, dedication, and leadership skills to a home where children feel safe, respected, and inspired, we’d love to hear from you.
