Full job description

Please note you must be 21 years of age or above to apply for this position.

Hopscotch Care is expanding, and we are looking for reliable, caring and motivated Residential Child Care Workers to join our small and supportive team at our children's home in Carlisle.

We provide a safe, stable and supportive home for children and young people aged 8–18. Our role is to help young people feel safe, build positive relationships and develop the skills and confidence they need to move forward.

This is a rewarding role, but it can also be challenging. You will be working with young people who may have experienced difficult circumstances and who can sometimes display behaviours that are difficult to manage. The ability to remain calm, patient and consistent is essential.

You don't need to have worked in residential childcare before. Full training, support and an induction programme are provided, and we will support you to work towards a Level 3 qualification in Residential Childcare if you don't already hold one.

What we're looking for

We are looking for people who are:

Caring, patient and genuinely interested in supporting young people
Reliable and able to build positive, professional relationships
Comfortable setting and maintaining appropriate boundaries
Calm and confident when dealing with challenging situations
Consistent in their approach and able to follow agreed care plans and routines
Able to communicate effectively with colleagues, young people and other professionals
Comfortable working as part of a small team
Able to work independently and use their initiative
Flexible and willing to work evenings, weekends and nights
Resilient and able to cope with the emotional and physical demands of the role
Willing to learn and develop their skills

Previous experience working with children, young people, care, education, mental health, behavioural support or similar settings is helpful, but not essential.

What does the job involve?

As a Residential Child Care Worker, you will be part of the day-to-day life of the home. This can include:

Building positive and trusting relationships with young people
Providing day-to-day care and support
Encouraging positive behaviour and helping young people understand boundaries
Supporting young people with routines, education, activities and appointments
Preparing meals and helping maintain a safe, clean and welcoming home
Supporting young people to develop independence and life skills
Taking part in activities and outings
Responding appropriately to challenging or distressed behaviour
Following individual care plans, risk assessments and safeguarding procedures
Recording incidents, daily observations and important information
Working closely with colleagues and other professionals involved in a young person's care
Supporting young people to make positive choices and achieve their goals

No two shifts are necessarily the same. Some days can be busy and demanding, while others may be quieter and focused on routine, relationships and activities.

Shift patterns

Day shifts are a mix of three:

8:00am – 4:00pm
4:00pm – 10:00pm
8:00am – 10:00pm

Night shifts:

10:00pm – 8:00am

Alternate weekend and bank holiday working may be required.

We aim to offer a range of shift patterns to help accommodate different working arrangements, although flexibility is important due to the nature of residential care.

Training and development

You will receive a two-week paid induction and shadowing programme when you join us, giving you the opportunity to learn about the home, meet the team and understand the needs of the young people before taking on your responsibilities.

We also provide:

Full induction and ongoing support
Specialist training
Support towards accredited qualifications
Opportunities for career progression and promotion
Regular support and supervision

What we offer

Competitive salary
£93.77 sleep-in payment
Full induction and paid shadowing
Specialist training and accredited qualifications
Contributory pension scheme
Enhanced DBS check paid for by Hopscotch
Opportunities for progression within the company
Flexible shift options where possible
Company car available for use during working hours
Free meals while working on shift
Two-week paid induction/shadowing programme
Additional leave options, which may include:
Maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave
Bereavement leave
Birthday leave
Moving house leave

Important information

This is a hands-on role, and you will need to be comfortable working in an environment that can sometimes be physically and emotionally demanding.

You will be expected to maintain professional boundaries while developing warm, supportive relationships with young people. Safeguarding is central to the role, and you will be expected to follow company policies and procedures at all times.

An Enhanced DBS check will be required, which Hopscotch will arrange and pay for.

A driving licence is preferred due to the nature of the role and the need to support young people with activities, appointments and outings.

Interested in joining us?

If you're considering a change of career, looking to develop your experience working with young people, or already have experience in residential childcare and want to join a small, supportive team, we'd be interested in hearing from you.

Apply today to find out more about joining Hopscotch Care.
