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, where a grin can make a young person’s day, and where listening can not only save but shape a life.
Walking through the door at Cambian means having a direct impact on the futures of the young people in our care. Asking “how school was” is more than a throwaway question; it’s stability, it’s genuine interest, and it demonstrates you are here and here is safe.
Our Residential Care Workers are fundamental to the development of the young people in our homes. There will be challenges, but every forward step is a cause for celebration, and a simple “well done” goes a long way!
Our homes accommodate young people aged 8-18 from a variety of backgrounds and with varying levels of social, emotional, and mental health needs. Our aim is to create the best possible outcomes for them to reach their full potential.
The days can be long but…
You’ll make a genuine difference to our young people daily, ensuring minimum interruption to their lives and providing meaningful interactions. Your day involves making sure they are up and ready, ensuring the service feels like “home,” running the hoover, 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 flies, and the work really matters.
