Ready for a New and Rewarding Opportunity?

Do you have a passion for supporting children and young people to thrive? We’re looking for a compassionate, committed individual to join a nurturing emotional wellbeing home as a Childrens Residential Support Worker.

�? About the Role

This role is part of a unique and forward-thinking initiative, delivered in partnership with a leading children's charity and the local County Council. The aim: to provide high-quality, therapeutic residential care for some of Leicestershire’s most vulnerable children and young people.

Based in Coalville, the home supports up to three young people aged 8-18. You’ll help create a stable, supportive environment that encourages growth, confidence, and emotional wellbeing. Flexibility is essential, as occasional cover may be required at similar homes in Hinckley and Syston.

???????? What You’ll Do

• Build strong, nurturing relationships that support independence and emotional resilience

• Collaborate with families, schools, and other professionals

• Assist with everyday tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and maintaining a safe home

• Accurately maintain care records and documentation

• Ensure safeguarding and health & safety standards are consistently upheld

? What We’re Looking For

• Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or commitment to achieve it within set timeframe - fully funded)

• A genuine desire to make a difference in young lives

• A sound understanding of safeguarding practices

• Flexibility to work shifts, including sleep-ins, weekends, and bank holidays

• Experience with children or young people is an advantage, but not essential—attitude and willingness to learn are what matter most
