We are recruiting experienced, confident residential childcare professionals to join a new high-risk, complex needs children's home in Eversfield. This service will support young people with significant emotional, behavioural and mental health needs, and as such we are only recruiting at an advanced level.

This role is not entry-level. As an advanced complex behaviour coach, you will be paid at Team Leader salary due to the complexity of the home, but the focus of the role is hands‑on, therapeutic care and modelling exceptional practice on the floor.

The Young People You'll Support May Present With

• High‑risk and challenging behaviours
• Significant emotional dysregulation and trauma histories
• Learning disabilities, autism and ADHD
• Mental health needs including self‑harm and crisis behaviours
• Poor attachment experiences and boundary difficulties

Your Role as an Advanced Complex Behaviour Coach

• Provide consistent, trauma‑informed care in a high‑risk environment
• Model calm, confident responses to complex and challenging behaviours
• Act as a role model and informal mentor to less experienced staff on shift
• Support young people with routines, regulation, emotional safety and daily living
• Follow and contribute to robust care plans, risk assessments and behaviour support plans
• Maintain high safeguarding standards and accurate documentation
• Work collaboratively with managers, professionals and the wider team
• Contribute to building a strong, stable culture within a brand‑new service

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 2 years' experience in children's residential care
• Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare or equivalent
• Proven experience supporting children with complex needs and challenging behaviour
• Confident, emotionally resilient and able to remain calm under pressure
• Strong safeguarding knowledge and professional judgement
• Reliable, consistent and values‑led in practice
• Full UK driving licence (ideal)

Working Pattern

• Day shifts: 1 day on / 2 days off, 7:30am – 10:30pm
• Night shifts: 2 nights on / 2 nights off, 10:00pm – 8:00am
• Consistent staffing model to support work‑life balance and stability
• Opportunity to be part of a new service from the ground up

Why Join SuperCare?

• Team Leader level salary due to complexity of the role
• Well‑resourced, well‑supported service with clear boundaries and expectations
• Pension scheme, performance bonus and clear progression pathways
• 36 days of in‑person advanced training per year
• Fully funded Level 5 qualifications in Leadership and Management
• Private healthcare and 24/7 GP access
• Well being package and gym stipend
• Free parking and use of company vehicles

This role is suited to confident, experienced candidates who want to work in a challenging but well‑supported environment, where standards are high and teamwork truly matters.
