About Us
At Endless Possibilities, we’re not a large corporate provider, we’re a small, owner-led therapeutic organisation built on strong values, building attachments through genuine commitment and connection to our team, children, and young people.
We are focused on growing opportunities for our young people and our business. We’re looking for people who want to grow with us, creating meaningful careers while making a lasting difference to the children and young people we care for. We invest heavily in our employees, maintaining a close knit and supportive environment while supporting you through NVQ qualifications and specialist therapeutic care training so you can develop both professionally and personally.
We are currently recruiting RSWs for:
- Our established EBD home in Standish
- A brand new, beautifully refurbished Short Break Care home in Bolton

As a Residential Support Worker, you’ll play a vital role in providing safe, nurturing, and therapeutic care to children and young people who have experienced trauma and/or have additional needs.
You will:
- Support children in their daily lives and emotional development
- Contribute to and implement ‘how we care for you’ plans
- Work as part of a collaborative, supportive, ever-developing team
- Participate in a rota including sleep-in shifts or waking nights
Why Join Us?
We want you to join us to develop your career and you’ll benefit from:
- Ongoing training and funded NVQ Level 3 qualification (if not already held)
- Regular supervision and support
- Opportunities to develop skills in therapeutic care approaches
- A chance to be part of a growing organisation where your voice and contribution matters
