Why this role exists

At YMCA Leicestershire, we believe every child deserves a safe place to call home and the support they need to create lasting change.

For the children living in our Residential Children’s Home, night-time can be the most vulnerable part of the day. It can bring anxiety, memories, uncertainty or simply the need for reassurance.

This Waking Nights Residential Support Worker role exists to ensure that even while the world sleeps, children remain safe, supported and emotionally secure.

As a Waking Nights Residential Support Worker, you won’t just be “on shift” — you’ll be a steady presence, a protector of safety, and someone children know they can rely on

About the Waking Nights Residential Support Worker role

Working as part of our Residential Children’s Home team at Park House, the Waking Nights Residential Support Worker plays a vital safeguarding and care role overnight.

You’ll work using the principles of therapeutic parenting and trauma-informed practice, ensuring children aged 7–18 experience:

Consistency
Compassion
Clear boundaries
Emotional safety

This is not passive night work. It is purposeful, professional and child-centred.

Key duties of the Waking Night Residential Support Worker

You’ll focus on the core responsibilities below (full details are available in the job description)

Ensuring the home remains safe, secure and appropriately monitored overnight
Maintaining awareness of children’s movements and responding calmly to any concerns
Following safeguarding, missing and incident protocols in line with Children’s Home Regulations 2015
Providing emotional support and reassurance to children who may need help during the night
Completing accurate records, logs and handovers to day staff
Contributing to a nurturing, structured and consistent environment that promotes positive outcomes

The Waking Nights Residential Support Worker works independently overnight while remaining fully connected to a supportive, reflective team culture.

An enhanced DBS check is required as part of our safer recruitment process.

About you

You’ll understand that children’s behaviour often reflects their experiences.

As a Waking Nights Residential Support Worker, you will:

Demonstrate compassion, empathy and professional curiosity
Stay calm and regulated in challenging situations
Uphold clear and consistent boundaries
Protect children’s privacy and dignity
Work independently while maintaining high professional standards

You’ll bring:

A Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or commitment to achieve within 2 years)
At least 1 year’s recent experience supporting children or young people in a residential or supportive setting
A strong understanding of trauma and child development
Emotional resilience and sound judgement
A commitment to safeguarding and regulatory compliance
A full UK driving licence (access to a vehicle preferred)
Eligibility under Care Standards Act requirements (minimum age 22)

Why work for YMCA Leicestershire as a Waking Nights Residential Support Worker?

Because people matterhere, including the people who work here.

We are a values-led charity supporting young people aged 16-25 through housing, care, wellbeing, sport and culture (including the Y Theatre, Leicester’s oldest theatre). At our Residential Children’s home, we operate with high aspiration and strong therapeutic principles.

People chose to work here because:

You are trusted to do meaningful work,
Kindness and professionalism go hand in hand,
Your development and wellbeing are genuinely supported,
You can see the difference you make every single day.

Our vision is simple: every young person deserves a safe place to call home and the support to create lasting change.

Safeguarding

YMCA Leicestershire is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk. All staff are expected to act in line with our safeguarding policies and procedures.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

If you need adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process, just tell us, we will do our best to support you.
