Children’s Residential Support Worker

A UK manual driving licence is essential (but you don’t need a car), you will also need experience in a similar role or personal life experience with some understanding of the industry.

We are looking to recruit people to support children and young people in a residential home setting. Residential support roles require long day shifts with the ability to do sleep-ins at the home overnight.

ROC Northwest holds an envious reputation offering high quality residential care and education for children and young people with adverse childhood experiences and who may also be living with mental health conditions such as Autism, Social, Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties and complex needs (SEBD).

What is the role?

Your role will be to support our children in the homes we provide for them, in all aspects of their daily lives. You’ll help them to maintain and develop relationships with friends and family, encourage them to integrate in the community by attending clubs, events and social activities. You will safeguard our children and report any suspicion or evidence of harm. When the children are not in the service you will be expected to undertake basic housekeeping duties where required. All this is done in a genuine family feel environment, and this is key to success in this role.

Other duties may also include activities such as watching a movie with the children, reading with them, taking walks, trying your hand on a games console or helping with other fun activities. We always promote a fun and love led environment and you’ll be expected to join in and have fun too.

We have a friendly team ready and waiting to welcome you to the best job you might ever have. All you need to do is bring the enthusiasm to support our service users and to take pride in being part of our family.

• People who have the desire to put others first and to go home with a sense of pride in their day and what they’ve achieved
• A Children’s Residential Level 3 qualification is desirable and offers the higher rate but it is not essential
• A manual UK Driving Licence is essential to use company vehicles (not automatic)
• Ability to work long day shifts e.g. 8am to 10pm and sleep ins from 10pm to 7am
• These are rotating shifts so your shift will fall on a weekend occasionally

• Positive - pleasant and approachable
