Full job description

We are recruiting for our residential children’s home in Orpington, Kent. At Five Rivers Child Care, we provide caring, therapeutic homes for children and young people aged 7–18 who have experienced trauma, loss, or instability. Our residential teams help children feel safe, valued, and supported so they can begin to rebuild their lives. Five Rivers Child Care provides integrated support through residential care, education, and clinical services, and uses its attachment and trauma-informed care model across the organisation.

You do not need previous experience in residential childcare to apply. We are looking for kind, dependable, and resilient people who want to build a meaningful career supporting children and young people. Full training will be provided, including support to achieve your Level 3 Diploma in Residential Child Care. Five Rivers describes this role as one where personal qualities can be just as important as qualifications, with strong emphasis on patience, humour, trust-building, and resilience.

What you’ll be doing

Supporting children and young people in a safe, nurturing home environment
Building positive relationships and being a consistent role model
Helping children take part in everyday routines, activities, and new experiences
Supporting with practical daily tasks such as meals, household routines, and record keeping
Working as part of an integrated team alongside residential, education, clinical, and other professionals
Contributing to a trauma-informed, therapeutic approach to care

Sleep-ins and additional earnings

This role includes overnight sleep-ins in the home, usually 2–3 per week. Each sleep-in is paid at £50 per night, which could add up to around £4,500 per year on top of your salary.

What we’re looking for

We are looking for people who are compassionate, patient, and able to stay calm when things are challenging. You will need good written, verbal, and IT skills, a positive sense of humour, and an understanding of the importance of play, routine, and relationships in children’s development.

Ideally, you will hold a full driving licence and be aged 19 or over. No previous residential childcare experience is required – we will provide full training and support your professional development.

Why join Five Rivers?

At Five Rivers Child Care, our purpose is to help children recover from neglect, abuse, trauma, or family breakdown so they can flourish and fulfil their potential. We are a social enterprise with more than 35 years of experience and a strong reputation for therapeutic, child-centred care.
