Residential Children’s Support Worker

Location: Westcliff-on-Sea
Salary: £26,867 to £29,106, depending on experience and qualifications
Hours: Full-time 40 hours per week

Shift patterns include:

· Early shift: 07.00 to 16.00

· Late shift: 15.00 to 22.30

· Long day: 07.00 to 22.30

· Sleep-ins and night shifts: 22.00 to 07.30

You’ll need to be flexible, as start and finish times may vary to meet the needs of the children in our care.

Help Create a Safe, Caring Home for Children

We are looking for kind, dependable, and emotionally resilient Residential Children’s Support Workers to join our warm, trauma-informed children’s home. Every day, we aim to create a place where children feel safe, cared for, listened to, and truly at home — especially those who may have experienced difficult beginnings.

If you believe every child deserves patience, encouragement, and someone who will stand beside them, this is an opportunity to be part of something deeply meaningful and life changing.

How You’ll Support Children Every Day

· Build trusting, positive relationships with children through consistency, kindness, and respect

· Support children with daily routines, education, activities, and emotional wellbeing

· Use trauma-informed approaches to help children feel safe, understood, and reassured

· Help create a warm, homely environment where children can grow in confidence and flourish

· Contribute to care plans, risk assessments, and accurate record-keeping that supports each child’s needs

· Work closely with colleagues, families, and professionals to provide joined-up care and support

· Be a positive role model who recognises and celebrates each child’s strengths, progress, and potential

Who We’re Looking For

· A genuine care for children and a desire to help them feel safe and supported

· Emotional resilience and the ability to stay calm, patient, and thoughtful in challenging moments

· Strong communication skills and a reflective, supportive approach to teamwork

· A clear commitment to safeguarding and promoting children’s welfare

· Flexibility to work shifts, including evenings, weekends, sleep-ins and nights

· Experience in residential childcare is welcome but not essential — full training and support will be provided

What You’ll Receive in Return

· A full induction and ongoing training, including specialist trauma-informed practice

· Supportive supervision and a caring, reflective team culture

· Opportunities to grow, develop, and build a meaningful career in children’s care

· The chance to make a real difference in children’s lives every single day

Additional Benefits

· Pension scheme

· 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays

· Employee Assistance Programme

· GP helpline
