Cheshire West and Chester Council is a place where everyone can thrive—upholding our core values of teamwork, honesty, respect, innovation, value for money, and empowerment.

As a Residential Children’s Care Worker, you will join an organization focused on achieving the best outcomes for children and families. Our team strives to build purposeful relationships where interventions can bring about meaningful change and make a real difference in the lives of children and young people. We foster a progressive culture that encourages creativity, embraces innovation, and upholds high aspirations for every child's improvement.

In the coming years, the Council plans to expand this quality service by opening new homes. Our Children and Families work in a trauma-informed manner using the innovative multi-agency partnership model, ‘Our Way of Working’.

Benefits include:

• Annual Leave: 26 days pro-rata, increasing to 31 days after five years of continuous Local Government Service.
• Career Progression: Structured levels of professional development, extensive training, induction, and regular appraisals.
• Working Rewards: Schemes such as additional leave, car and cycle purchase schemes, WorkFit membership, and discounts at various retailers.
• Pension Scheme: Career average scheme with contributions of 5.5%–8.5% from employees and 23.8% from the employer, including ill health and death benefits.
• Employee Assistance Programme: 24/7 support for personal and work-related issues from qualified advisors.

To qualify, you must hold a Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare or equivalent and have experience supporting vulnerable children and young people, along with supervisory skills. We will provide training to develop your skills further. You should be a strong team player with excellent communication skills and a collaborative working approach.

You will also:

• Receive high-quality supervision and a personal development plan.
• Have opportunities to deliver quality services in partnership with stakeholders, managing a reasonable workload.
