Full job description

Are you an experienced Senior Children’s Support Worker or Team Leader looking to take the next step in residential childcare?

We are seeking a committed and experienced professional to join a residential setting supporting a young person. This is a rewarding opportunity to play a pivotal role in delivering high-quality, person-centred care, while leading shifts and supporting a team to achieve the very best outcomes.

If you are passionate about supporting young people, experienced in managing challenging behaviour, and confident in a leadership role, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

About the Role

Working within a residential children’s home, you will provide consistent care, guidance, and emotional support to a young person. You will also take on shift leadership responsibilities, ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the home, particularly in the absence of the Registered Manager.

This role combines hands-on care with team leadership, making it ideal for someone ready to step up or already operating at senior level.

Key Responsibilities

Provide a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for young people
Build positive, trusting relationships and act as a strong role model
Support emotional, behavioural, and developmental needs
Lead shifts and maintain consistently high standards of care
Contribute to care planning, risk assessments, and report writing
Ensure care plans are implemented, reviewed, and updated
Support education, daily activities, and community engagement
Promote positive behaviour and encourage independence and growth
Maintain accurate records and contribute to reviews and meetings
Supervise, mentor, and support junior staff and new starters
Work collaboratively within a team and contribute to service development
Ensure full compliance with safeguarding practices and regulatory standards

What We’re Looking For

✔ Experience working with children or young people in a residential care setting
✔ Proven ability in team leadership / shift leading / mentoring staff
✔ Strong understanding of challenging behaviour and positive behaviour support
✔ A compassionate, resilient, and proactive approach
✔ Good written and verbal communication skills
✔ Knowledge of safeguarding and relevant childcare legislation
✔ Full UK driving licence (desirable)

Working Hours & Conditions

Flexible shift patterns including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and sleep-ins
Participation in an on-call rota / out-of-hours support
Flexibility required to meet the needs of the service

What We Offer

A supportive and collaborative working environment
Ongoing training and professional development
Opportunities for career progression within a growing organisation
The chance to make a genuine and lasting difference in a young person’s life

Why Apply?
This is more than just a role in residential childcare—it’s an opportunity to lead, inspire, and positively impact a young person’s future. Every shift presents the chance to provide stability, guidance, and meaningful support.

Apply today to progress your career as a Senior Children’s Support Worker / Team Leader.

Additional Information
This role is subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check due to working with vulnerable young people. Safeguarding and promoting their welfare is paramount, and all applicants must share this commitment.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: £37,440.00 per year
