We're recruiting Residential Care Workers to join a dedicated team supporting children and young people in an Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD) residential home in Rugeley. This is a rewarding opportunity to help create a safe, nurturing and stable environment where young people can thrive.

The Role

  • A caring, patient and resilient approach.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Flexibility to work shifts, including evenings, weekends and sleep-ins.
  • Previous residential childcare experience is desirable but not essential.

Qualifications

A Level 3 or Level 4 qualification in Children's Residential Care is desirable.

What's on Offer

  • £12.71-£13.09 per hour (depending on experience and qualifications).
  • £50 payment for each sleep-in.
  • Full training and ongoing professional development.
  • Opportunity to gain a recognised Level 3/4 qualification if not already held.
  • Supportive management and career progression opportunities.
  • The chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable children and young people.
