Job description

Team Leader – Children’s Residential Home (EBD)
Location: Canterbury – Kent
Salary: Starting from £30,000 (dependent on experience & qualifications)
Contract: Full-time, Permanent
Shift Pattern: Variable shifts across a 7-day rota – no fixed pattern, every week is different!

Now Recruiting: Team Leader – Children’s Residential Home (Kent)
Helping children heal, grow, and thrive-this role is so much more than a job.

I’m working with a truly special, family-run care provider based in Kent who are experts in supporting young people with emotional and learning difficulties. Their homes aren’t just a place to stay-they’re a place to belong, to build resilience, and to move forward in life with confidence.

They’re now looking for a Team Leader who can bring warmth, structure, and leadership to one of their beautifully run homes. If you’re experienced in children’s residential care and want to work somewhere that puts people before process and genuinely invests in young people and staff alike-this could be the perfect fit.

Why This Provider Stands Out:

They’re innovators, working with universities and professionals to improve outcomes for children.
They believe in relationships first-because healing starts with connection.
They go beyond care plans with specialist toolkits, therapy support, and creative approaches tailored to every young person.

The Role – What You’ll Be Doing:

As Team Leader, you’ll help create a home environment where young people feel safe, seen, and supported-every single day.

Lead and support a team with empathy and structure
Be a role model for nurturing, consistent care
Help young people develop life skills, confidence, and emotional wellbeing
Work with health and education professionals to wrap around support
Bring positivity, stability, and a healthy sense of fun!

You’ll Need:

Experience in children’s residential care (Team Leader or Senior RCW level)
A Level 3 in Residential Childcare (or equivalent) – Level 5 is a bonus
A strong sense of purpose and the belief that every child deserves a fresh start
Great communication, leadership, and people skills

What’s on Offer:

A genuinely supportive, values-led culture
High-quality training and opportunities for career progression
A beautiful working environment with a committed, passionate team
The chance to be part of something bigger-a mission-driven home that changes lives
If you’re ready to lead with compassion and purpose-and want to work with a care provider that gets it-I’d love to chat.

Apply now or reach out for a confidential conversation.
Together, let’s help shape brighter futures for children who need it most.
