Make 2026 the year you do work that genuinely matters.

Our children’s home in Tavistock, rated Outstanding by Ofsted four times consequently, is looking for a Residential Care Worker to join a settled, experienced, and values led team.

We are an active, outdoors focused home, located on the edge of Dartmoor near Tavistock. Walking, exploring, physical activity, and shared experiences in nature are used intentionally to support, confidence, and emotional wellbeing.

We support children with emotional and behavioural difficulties who present with complex needs. This is an EBD home, and while the work can be emotionally demanding at times, it is also purposeful, relational, and highly rewarding.

You will be joining a motivated and focused home that values consistency, reflection, and therapeutic thinking. We are looking for someone career minded, active, and emotionally resilient who wants to develop within residential childcare not “just work shifts”.

The role

As a Residential Care Worker, you will be part of a family style team that provides the kind of home, experiences, and everyday life that every child deserves.

This role is about creating a safe, stable, and active environment where children can experience routine, shared activities, time outdoors, and a genuine sense of belonging. You will support children to engage in day to day life, enjoy positive experiences, and gradually build confidence, independence, and trust through consistent relationships.

The role involves:

Creating a warm, structured, and nurturing home environment
Supporting children to access ordinary childhood experiences and an active lifestyle
Encouraging routine, responsibility, and independence
Spending time outdoors and engaging in shared activities
Working reflectively and therapeutically as part of a consistent team
Providing calm, attuned support during more challenging moments

What we are looking for

We are looking for people who:

Are emotionally resilient and reflective
Communicate clearly and positively
Bring energy, warmth, and consistency to their practice
Can remain calm and thoughtful under pressure
Are able to work flexibly, including shifts and sleep-ins
Hold a full UK driving licence

Experience in residential childcare is welcomed but not essential. Values, mindset, and willingness to learn are key.

What we offer

Competitive pay
Uplifted Sleep-in allowance of £78.30 per night
Fully funded training and externally accredited qualifications
Strong in-house management support
A stable team and a home with a clear identity and vision
Genuine opportunities for development and progression
