About Us

Applied Care and Development is a well-established private sector residential childcare provider delivering quality services for children and young people since 2001. We are part of the CareTech Family. who are a leading nationwide social care provider delivering a package of high quality, individually tailored care and support solutions to children, young people, and adults across the UK. We currently has eight residential childcare services based across Scotland and an independent school located in Dumfries. Of these services, four are based in Dumfries and Galloway, two are in Highland and two are based in Fife.

We are seeking compassionate and empowering Residential Child Care Support Workers to provide care and support for children and young people who are unable to live with their families. Often, our children and young people have been subject to adverse childhood experiences and trauma. We are seeking people who have a good understanding of the difficulties and challenges that children may face and have the confidence and ability to support them to recover, grow and flourish.

We provide children with a safe and nurturing environment within our services, and need caring and compassionate individuals who can demonstrate these attributes within a challenging yet rewarding environment.

If you believe you have the skills, values and desire to help support our young people to achieve their full potential, then we want to hear from you.

About The Service

The service offers placements for children and young people who have social, emotional and behavioural needs and who may have experienced trauma. Our staff will be appropriately qualified and registered in accordance with SSSC regulations, or working towards this. A regular programme of training, supervision and appraisal will be maintained. The service operates a rota system and staff are on site at all times. In addition to this, the house manager is available in the service as supernumerary. ACAD also operates an on-call service, which allows the service to contact on-call for support if assistance is required.
