Full job description

We are seeking a dedicated, caring and resilient Residential Support Worker to support children and young people living in a children’s home. The successful candidate will help create a safe, stable and nurturing environment for children and young people who may have experienced trauma and who can present with challenging behaviour, including physical and verbally abusive behaviour.

This role requires strong communication skills, emotional awareness, consistency and a genuine commitment to helping children feel safe, valued and supported.

Key Responsibilities

Support and supervise children and young people in their day-to-day lives, promoting safety, wellbeing and positive behaviour.
Build trusting, professional relationships with young people and act as a positive role model.
Support children to manage emotions, behaviour and conflict in a calm, trauma-informed and respectful way, including when children are physically or verbally aggressive.
Maintain the safety and security of the home and follow safeguarding and behaviour management procedures at all times.
Assist with daily routines such as meals, education attendance, activities, appointments and bedtime routines.
Respond appropriately to incidents, distress or crises, working closely with colleagues to keep everyone safe.
Use approved physical intervention / restraint techniques only when absolutely necessary, in line with the home’s behaviour management policy, training and legal guidance, to prevent harm to the child or others.
Accurately record daily events, incidents, use of restraint and progress in line with organisational and regulatory requirements.
Support young people to access education, hobbies, life-skills and positive community activities.
Work in partnership with families, social workers, schools and other professionals to meet each child’s individual care plan.

Skills and Experience

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
Ability to remain calm, patient and professional when children present with physically challenging behaviour and verbally abusive language secondary to trauma.
A caring, empathetic and child-centred approach. However, with a boundaried balance when young people display behaviours as such as manipulation and cohesive control i.e.. Learnt Behaviours.
Strong observation skills and awareness of safeguarding and risk.
Resilience and emotional strength to work with children who may have experienced trauma, neglect or abuse.
Good organisational skills and confidence in completing reports and daily records.
Willingness to work shifts, including evenings, weekends. DO NOT APPLY IF YOU CANNOT WORK WEEKENDS
Previous experience working with children or in care, education, youth work or support settings is desirable but not essential, as full training will be provided.

This role offers a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children and young people by helping them feel safe, supported and hopeful about their future.

Please do not apply thinking a children's home is about taking kids for coffee and tucking them into bed. This job is about helping children who have been let down and need to be taught structure, routine, nurture, love, discipline. Please do not apply for the good times, be ready for the hard.

If you are unable to do this. Do not apply, our children have had enough people come in and out of their lives, we are a placement that like to give our children consistency.
