Full job description

Senior Children’s Residential Support Worker

Salary: £31,905 per annum plus sleep-ins and attendance bonus

Shift Pattern: 2 days on, 4 days off (inclusive of long days and sleep-ins, rotational)

Can you lead a team that helps a child believe again?

Who we are:
At Homes2Inspire , we believe every child deserves the chance to thrive. As one of the UK’s leading providers of children’s residential care, we deliver innovative, high-quality services that put children at the centre of everything we do. Our team is built on values of care, integrity, and ambition, and we are committed to helping every young person feel safe, valued, and inspired about their future.

About Homes and Horizons:
This isn’t just another children’s home role. Homes and Horizons is a ground breaking partnership between Somerset Council, CAMHS, the NHS, and Homes2Inspire. Together, we are reshaping residential childcare to provide something truly different: homes that combine stability, education, and therapeutic care so children can begin to heal from trauma and build brighter futures.

As a Senior Support Worker , you’ll play a key role in this multi-agency approach, working alongside mental health professionals and local authority teams. You’ll have access to specialist training, ongoing clinical support, and the opportunity to make an even greater impact on the lives of young people.

What does the role involve?

As a Senior Support Worker , you’ll not only provide direct care for children aged 8–18 but also lead and mentor your team to deliver exceptional support. Your responsibilities will include:

Leadership & Supervision – Acting as a senior figure within the home, supervising staff, providing guidance, and ensuring high standards of practice.

Care Planning – Taking an active role in developing, reviewing, and implementing individual care plans that put the child at the centre of decision-making.

Team Development – Coaching and supporting colleagues, fostering a positive and reflective team culture.

Role Modelling – Demonstrating trust, respect, and healthy relationships through your actions.

Daily Life Support – Helping with routines, activities, and creating a safe, structured environment.

Encouraging Growth – Celebrating milestones, introducing hobbies, and nurturing independence.

Calm in Crisis – Leading by example during challenging situations, offering stability and compassion.

Professional Liaison – Working closely with social workers, health professionals, and contributing to multi-agency meetings.

What we’re looking for

Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent) – please check with us if you are unsure whether your qualification is equivalent

Previous experience in residential childcare or a similar setting (essential)

A full UK driving licence (essential)

Flexibility to work 2 on / 4 off shift pattern, including long days and sleep-ins

The right to work in the UK (we are unable to offer visa sponsorship)

Strong leadership skills, resilience, and a genuine passion for supporting young people

Why join Homes2Inspire?

At Homes2Inspire, you’ll never just be “another support worker.” You’ll be part of a respected national organisation that values its people, invests in their development, and offers genuine progression opportunities. Many of our managers began their journey as Support Workers, and with us, your career can grow as you grow.

What we offer:
£31,126 salary + £44.86 per sleep-in + £1,400 annual attendance bonus

2 on / 4 off shift pattern for excellent work-life balance

Specialist training and qualifications in childcare, safeguarding, and therapeutic approaches

Ongoing clinical and team support as part of Homes and Horizons

Career development pathways across a national organisation

A supportive, values-driven environment that champions your wellbeing and contribution

By joining Homes2Inspire and the Homes and Horizons project, you won’t just be changing young lives you’ll be shaping the future of residential care.
