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 seeking a caring and compassionate individual with a desire to make a positive difference in children's lives.

We offer full-time and bank contracts with a basic salary of £11.59 to £12.23 per hour, plus sleep-in payments (£30 per sleep-in, based on 8-10 sleep-ins per month). You will also receive paid annual leave, a monthly rota, and work during holidays including Christmas and New Year, which is especially joyful with the children.

The shifts involve long hours and sleep-ins, which are essential, and hours vary depending on the home. You must be at least 21 years old due to Ofsted regulations and driving is essential due to the locations of the homes. No prior experience is necessary.

Benefits include a refer-a-friend scheme, enrollment in a workplace pension scheme after three months, career progression opportunities (Support Worker to Team Leader to Deputy Manager), overtime pay at x1.25, a fully paid 10-day induction course, an enhanced DBS check paid for by Cambian Group, and enrollment in NVQ Level 3 in Children and Young People’s Workforce after a six-month probation.

We value genuine individuals who can create a family environment, remain calm in situations, offer advice, listen actively, and show unconditional positive regard. If this describes you, we would love to hear from you!
