Residential Childcare Worker

Carraig View is tucked away in the heart of Port Glasgow with beautiful views over the Clyde, but it is what happens inside that really matters. Since opening our doors in 2021, we have been supporting children and young people to settle, grow, and find their place in the world. Whether it is through school, local clubs, or simple everyday routines, we are here to help young people build the confidence and skills they need to thrive.

Join our residential childcare team and play an important role in supporting children and young people to reach their full potential. Working within a structured and supportive environment, you will help provide high‑quality care that promotes safety, wellbeing and positive outcomes.

• Deliver high-quality care in line with policies, standards and best practice

You will have a genuine commitment to supporting children and young people and an understanding of the challenges they may face. You will be emotionally resilient, able to work effectively under pressure and confident in building positive professional relationships. Strong communication and teamwork skills are essential, along with a commitment to delivering high-quality care. You will hold, or be willing to work towards, an SVQ Level 3 in Social Services (Children and Young People).
