Children's Residential Support Worker
Crook, County Durham | Full Time | Residential Childcare | Shift Work
£29,160 per annum
Be the person a child remembers for the right reasons.
Some jobs are about earning a living. Others give you the opportunity to
change a life
.
As a
Children's Residential Support Worker
, you could be the person who listens when a young person feels nobody else will. The calm voice at the end of a difficult day. The trusted adult who keeps showing up, keeps believing in them and helps them discover that their past does not have to define their future.
We are looking for a compassionate, resilient and committed
Children's Residential Support Worker
to join our team in
Crook, County Durham
, supporting children and young people who may have experienced trauma, instability, emotional difficulties or challenging circumstances.
This isn't always an easy job.
There will be difficult days. There will be moments that test your patience, your resilience and your ability to remain calm under pressure.
But there will also be moments that make it all worthwhile — a young person beginning to trust you, achieving something they didn't believe they could, opening up after weeks of silence, or simply feeling safe enough to smile.
Those moments matter. And so will you.
Working in a specialist children's residential home, you'll help create a place where young people feel
safe, valued, listened to and cared for
.
You'll build genuine, trusting relationships and provide the consistency and encouragement that can make such a difference to a child who has experienced uncertainty.
