Full job description

Competitive salary — up to £35,210 per year | All experience levels welcome | Full training provided

Sleep-ins are paid in addition to your salary at £55 per sleep-in.

For this particular home, we are especially keen to hear from candidates with an Early Years background or experience supporting younger children.This could include experience in a nursery, preschool, Early Years setting or another role supporting young children.

Because of the children's age and developmental needs, experience in early childhood development, developmental milestones, and providing nurturing, age-appropriate support would be particularly valuable.

Why Join Us?

This is more than a job. It is an opportunity to genuinely change the course of a child’s life.

At Solent Child Care, we provide specialised therapeutic support for children who have experienced significant trauma and who are not yet ready for foster care. Our goal is to create warm, stable, fun and nurturing homes where children can build the confidence and skills they need to succeed.

Our homes are small and situated in beautiful locations across Wiltshire, Somerset and the New Forest. You will join a close-knit, supportive team where your contribution is seen and valued every day.

We use PACE alongside principles from DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy), providing a therapeutic approach to parenting and care for children with complex emotional needs. Whether you are completely new to residential childcare or an experienced professional, we will invest in your development from day one.

The Role

As a Residential Child Care Worker, you will be a consistent and positive presence in the lives of the children in your home.

Working as part of a small, dedicated team, you will provide high-quality, child-centred care, creating a structured, nurturing and fun environment where every child feels safe, cared for and supported.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

Providing tailored emotional and practical care to meet each child’s individual needs
Being a positive role model and building trusting, therapeutic relationships
Supporting school runs, extracurricular activities and family contact using our home vehicles
Planning and taking part in recreational and educational activities that promote development, independence and social skills
Supporting children to work towards individual developmental milestones
Carrying out household duties, including cooking, cleaning and maintaining a warm and welcoming home environment
Completing daily records, logs, forms and weekly health and safety checks
Working collaboratively with social workers, educators and other professionals
Working 24-hour shift patterns, including weekends, bank holidays and sleep-ins
Sleep-in hours are 22:30 to 07:30

What We Are Looking For

We welcome applications from a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels — from people completely new to residential childcare through to qualified and experienced practitioners.

What matters most is your values, character and genuine commitment to supporting children.

Essential Requirements

You must be aged 21 or over
Full, clean UK driving licence — home vehicles are used to transport children
Compassionate, patient and resilient, with the ability to bring warmth, calm and fun to challenging situations

A genuine commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people
Good communication skills and the ability to maintain clear and accurate records
Right to work in the UK — sponsorship is not available for this role

If You Are Experienced or Qualified

We also welcome applications from candidates who already hold a Level 3 qualification or above in Residential Childcare, Health and Social Care or an equivalent relevant qualification.

If you have previous experience in a senior, supervisory or team leader role, we would also be keen to hear from you.

For experienced candidates, we will support your continued professional development and progression towards Level 4, Level 5 and beyond.

Desirable — But Not Essential

Early Years experience or experience supporting younger children
Level 3 qualification in Residential Childcare, Health and Social Care or equivalent
Experience working with children with complex emotional or behavioural needs

Company pension scheme with a 3% employer contribution

Practical Benefits

£55 for each sleep-in, paid in addition to your salary

Home vehicles provided for school runs and transporting children while on shift — no need to use your own vehicle
Meals provided while on shift — you eat communally with the children at no cost to you
Free on-site parking at all home locations
Casual dress — our homes are homes, not institutions
28 days' annual leave, inclusive of bank holidays
Refer a Friend Scheme — £500 (T&Cs apply)

Training & Development

Supported progression to Level 4 and Level 5 qualifications, opening opportunities for senior and management roles
PACE and DDP therapeutic parenting training from the outset
Safeguarding, first aid and behaviour support training
Online learning, webinars and face-to-face training throughout your career
Regular supervision and one-to-one support from an experienced management team

About Solent Child Care

Solent Child Care is an independent residential childcare provider operating multiple homes across the South of England.

Our homes are small by design. We believe children thrive in intimate, family-like environments rather than large institutional settings.

We specialise in supporting children who have experienced significant trauma. Using therapeutic approaches including PACE and DDP principles, our teams help children build trust, develop emotional resilience and achieve positive outcomes.

We are a values-led organisation where safeguarding underpins every decision we make — and we apply that same commitment to supporting and developing our staff.
