Children's Residential Care Worker £11.92 - £12.54 per hour (DoE) £30 sleep rate (where required) Everything you do matters From the moment you open the door and enter one of our services you become something more than you once were. You enter the place our young people call home, a place where a grin can make a young person’s day, where listening can not only save but shape a life, a place whereby simply turning up on time and being present has a bigger impact than it does anywhere else. Walking through the door at Cambian means having a direct impact on the futures of the young people in our care. At one of our places, asking “how school was” is so much more than a throw away question, it’s stability, it’s paying a genuine interest and listening to the response. It’s a way to break barriers, a way to unlock confidence and demonstrates you are here and here is safe. Our Residential Care Workers are fundamental to the development of the young people in our homes, yes there will be challenges along the way, there will be crippling lows and immeasurable highs but every forward step is a cause for celebration and a simple “well done” goes a long way too Our homes accommodate young people aged 8>18 from a variety of backgrounds and with varying levels of social/emotional/mental health needs. Our aim is to create the best possible outcomes for them to allow every single one of them to reach their full potential. The days can be long but… You’ll make a genuine difference to our young people on a daily basis, you’ll ensure minimum interruption to their lives and pack their days full of the meaningful interaction’s others may take for granted. Your day involves making sure they are up and ready for the day, this could mean ready for school or ready for a morning at the park, it means ensuring the service feels like “home” - running the hoover around, helping with homework or preparing dinner. Evenings and weekends are usually for fun, whether that’s playing videogames, a board game, or a trip to see a movie. Yes there is paperwork and planning but supporting our young people is never boring. The days may be long but time fly’s and the work really matters.
