We believe every child deserves a safe, supportive and nurturing home. Our Residential Childcare Support Workers play a vital role in providing that stability for children and young people who, for various reasons, cannot live with their families.

Many of the children we support have experienced trauma or difficult life events. That’s why we’re looking for compassionate, resilient and empowering individuals who can help them heal, grow, and flourish.

This is a challenging role at times – but it’s also one of the most rewarding. If you want to make a lasting difference in a young person’s life, we’ll give you the tools and support to do just that.

You don’t need previous experience – just the right values and a willingness to learn. If you’re someone who:

• Understands the challenges children and young people may face
• Can build trust and form positive, supportive relationships
• Communicates clearly and confidently with young people and professionals
• Can keep accurate written records and reports
• Holds a valid manual UK driving licence

We’ll invest in you as much as you invest in the children you support. Here’s what you’ll get:

• Full induction and specialist training – no experience needed
• Support to gain professional qualifications (HNC in Social Care, SVQ level 3, or equivalent)
• Competitive salary plus sleepover allowance
• £500 Welcome Bonus paid on successful completion of probation period
• £1000 Refer A Friend scheme
• Permanent, full-time contract for job security
• Access to employee assistance programme and pension scheme
• Ongoing career development and progression opportunities

We’ll also cover the cost of your PVG check with Disclosure Scotland and support you to register with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).
