Support Worker: Children's Residential
Pay: £28,000 - £34,000 per year
Job Types: Full-time, Permanent
Work Location: In person

Do you want to work for a high-quality care provider that invests in your training and career progression? Do you want above-average pay and excellent benefits? Do you like well-funded, well-staffed homes where you can truly make a difference?

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Competitive pay compared to industry standards
• Fully funded training and qualifications to support your career growth
• Clear progression opportunities into senior and management roles
• A child-focused company with well-funded, well-staffed homes ensuring quality care
• A supportive environment that values your development and wellbeing

About Our Client

Our client is a trusted provider of children's residential services, committed to creating safe, nurturing homes where children can thrive. Their homes are well-resourced, professionally staffed, and designed to provide stability and emotional support for children aged 8-18. They believe in empowering staff through upskilling, training, and clear career progression opportunities.

About the Role

As a Support Worker, you'll play a vital role in providing high-quality care and emotional support for children in our Nottingham home. This is a low-risk, nurturing environment focused on emotional wellbeing, routine, and personal growth—not a setting where you face aggressive behaviours daily.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver child‑centred care and support daily routines
• Build positive relationships and promote emotional wellbeing
• Assist in implementing individual care plans
• Work collaboratively with colleagues and external professionals
• Ensure compliance with safeguarding standards

What We Offer

• Salary: £28,000 - £34,000 per year
• Regular working pattern for better work‑life balance
• Comprehensive training and funded qualifications
• Clear progression pathways into senior roles
• Supportive leadership and well-resourced homes

What We’re Looking For

• Level 3 in Residential Childcare (desirable, not essential)
• Experience in residential childcare or similar care setting
• Strong understanding of child development and safeguarding
• Full UK driving licence
