Job description

Our Children's Home Wrexham are looking for an enthusiastic, passionate and caring Residential Support Worker to join our team! We support children and young people up to the age of 18, with a wide range of needs, such as support with emotional wellbeing and challenging behaviours. Our 3 bedded home is located just on the outskirts of Wrexham, offering plenty of beautiful countryside and outdoor space for our young people. Building trusting relationships is at the heart of what we do, so we celebrate small wins as much as we do with the bigger ones. Our priority is making sure every young person feels seen, heard and valued, helping them build confidence, resilience and a sense of belonging.

Due to the nature of this role, you will need a full UK driving license.

At Aspris, we want every young person to feel understood, supported, and ready to take on the world. That’s why our homes are shaped around the needs of each child - this ensures that all of our young people get the support that’s shaped around their strengths, challenges, and goals.

As a Residential Support Worker, you will be at the centre of the fun! Taking young people to see their friends, trips to the cinema, partaking in community events such as fundraisers and galas, teaching the young people to cook, encouraging them to be independent and many other brand new opportunities that they may never have had the chance to do previously. This role allows you to really make a difference to the lives of those under our care and to build strong relationships with the young people and staff alike.

At Aspris, learning never stops - and that’s something we truly value. As a growing organisation, we rely on accurate, detailed data, which can include sensitive information such as incident reports and disclosures from young people. High attention to detail is essential to the role.

To support you, we offer continuous CPD and development opportunities, helping you grow and become the best version of yourself.

What does this mean?

• Automatic enrollment onto NVQ/SVQ qualifications within 6-months of starting a Residential Support role
• The opportunity to be qualified to degree level
• A clear pathway for you to progress in your role

We believe every child and young person has potential.

We work in partnership with parents and guardians to unlock this potential through specialist care, support and education. Tailoring our care and education provisions to meet the diverse needs of children and young people ensuring that they always receive the right support, at the right time, and in the right setting. Even when the journey seems hard, we use courage, resilience, kindness and dedication.

Our team of experts work together to deliver safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive. When a young person’s confidence grows, they become limitless. This is the heartbeat of our work - every day, every hour and every minute.

That is the Aspris difference.
