Job Description:

We DO NOT offer Work Sponsorship.

We are the Cambian Group, one of the largest independent providers of care and education for children and young people. We believe that everybody has a personal best, and we strive to help our young people realize their potential.

An exciting opportunity has arisen in our children’s homes for Residential Support Workers! We are looking for caring and compassionate individuals who want to make a positive difference in children’s lives.

We offer both full-time and bank contracts.

The salary ranges from £11.59 to £12.23 per hour, plus sleep-in payments (£30.00 per sleep-in, based on 8-10 sleep-ins per month). You will also accrue hours of paid annual leave per year.

You will receive a monthly rota. This role involves working long hours and sleep-ins, which are essential, with shifts varying depending on the home. It is a day-a-year job, including Christmas, New Year, and other holidays, celebrating with the children!

Applicants must be at least 21 years old due to Ofsted regulations. Driving is essential because of the locations of the homes. No prior experience is necessary.

Benefits include a refer-a-friend payment scheme, enrollment in a workplace pension scheme after three months, opportunities for progression (Support Worker → Team Leader → Deputy Manager), overtime paid at 1.25x, a fully paid 10-day induction course, and an enhanced DBS check paid for by Cambian Group. After a six-month probation, you can enroll in NVQ Level 3 in Children and Young People’s Workforce.

While experience is valued, we are looking for genuine, caring individuals who can create a family environment for our children. If you are calm in challenging situations, offer advice, listen well, and show unconditional positive regard, we want to hear from you!
