READY FOR A SENIOR ROLE WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE AN IMPACT?
We’re opening a brand-new, two-bed children’s home near Spalding and we’re looking for an experienced Senior Children’s Residential Support Worker to become a key part of the team from day one.
This isn’t a huge residential service with endless staff, multiple units and dozens of moving parts.
It’s a small home supporting a maximum of two young people, with a close-knit staff team and a clear focus on providing outstanding, consistent care.
If you’re an experienced Children’s Residential Support Worker or Senior who knows what good care looks like and wants more responsibility, a strong salary and the chance to help shape a new home from the beginning, we want to hear from you.
£40,186 salary

Up to £2,000 joining bonus
£250 per month on-call allowance – an additional £3,000 per year
That gives you a potential first-year package of up to £45,186.
Our Spalding home is a brand-new, small two-bed children’s residential home, supporting young people with EBD, SEMH, trauma and complex needs.
Our approach is therapeutic, trauma-informed and relationship-based, incorporating:
With only two young people, staff have the time and opportunity to build genuine relationships, provide consistent support and make a meaningful difference.
We want the home to feel exactly like that — a home, not an institution.
As a Senior Children’s Residential Support Worker, you’ll be an important part of the leadership of the home.
You won’t simply be there to complete shifts.
You’ll help set the standard.
Working closely with the Registered Manager, you’ll support and guide the staff team while remaining actively involved in the day-to-day care of the young people.
Your responsibilities will include:
Most importantly, you'll help create an environment where young people feel safe, valued, understood and supported to progress.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We’re looking for someone with genuine experience in children’s residential care who is confident taking the lead on shift.
You might already be working as a Senior Support Worker, Team Leader or Senior Residential Childcare Worker.
Or you may be an experienced Children’s Residential Support Worker who is ready to take that next step.
You’ll need to be:
A Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare, or equivalent, would be desirable.
Experience supporting young people with EBD, SEMH, trauma and complex behaviours would also be advantageous.
WHY JOIN US?
Because we want good people — and we believe good people should be properly rewarded.
