Salary: £14.75 per hour
Home: Brand-new 3-bed EBD children’s home
We are looking for a caring, resilient and enthusiastic Residential Support Worker to join the team at a brand-new children’s home in Milton Keynes.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a new service from the very beginning, working alongside an excellent and highly supportive Registered Manager. The home will provide care for up to three children and young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties.
The role
As a Residential Support Worker, you will:
* Build positive, trusting relationships with the children
* Provide consistent emotional and practical support
* Help create a safe, stable and nurturing home environment
* Support children with routines, education, activities and appointments
* Encourage independence and the development of life skills
* Follow individual care plans and risk assessments
* Maintain clear and accurate records
* Work closely with colleagues, families and external professionals
* Respond calmly and appropriately to challenging situations
What we’re looking for
We would love to hear from people who are:
* Caring, patient and genuinely passionate about supporting children
* Resilient and able to remain calm under pressure
* Reliable, approachable and able to work effectively within a team
* Comfortable working shifts, including weekends and sleep-ins
* Experienced within children’s residential care, support work or a similar setting, although the right attitude is equally important
* Willing to complete relevant training and qualifications
In return, you will join a new home with a strong manager in place, excellent support and the opportunity to grow as the service develops.
If you are looking for a rewarding role where you can make a genuine difference to the lives of children and young people, we would love to hear from you.
