Job Description

Residential Care Support Worker

Heal Care Group

At Heal Care Group, our mission is to raise the bar for children in care. We run therapeutic, high-quality homes built on safety, stability, and healing. Everything we do is designed to set the gold standard and give children the strongest possible chance to thrive.

Local authorities trust our service because of our consistency, strong communication, and child-first approach. Our four core values - Humility, Empathy, Aspirational Care, and Love What You Do - guide everything we do.

As a Residential Care Support Worker, you will play a vital role in creating a safe, warm, and nurturing home where children can begin to heal and build a positive future.

Why Join Us?

This role is perfect for someone who cares deeply about helping children. You don't need lots of experience - just the right attitude, patience, and willingness to learn.

You'll be part of a supportive team that uses clear routines, trauma-informed practice, and consistent care to help children feel safe and understood. Every day, your actions will make a real difference.

What You'll Be Doing

Support children with daily routines - meals, school runs, activities, appointments, and bedtime. Build positive, trusting relationships using trauma-informed and therapeutic approaches. Provide emotional support during challenging moments, helping children feel safe and regulated. Encourage education, hobbies, life skills, and positive behaviours. Support the delivery of care plans, risk assessments, and behaviour support strategies. Keep accurate records of daily notes, incidents, and progress. Maintain a clean, welcoming home environment and involve children in household tasks. Work as part of a supportive team to create routines, stability, and a sense of belonging. Take part in sleep-in duties as part of the 2-on-4-off rota.

What We're Looking For

A caring, patient, and reliable person with a genuine desire to help children. Understanding of safeguarding and professional boundaries (full training provided). Experience in care is helpful but not essential - the right values matter most. Level 3 Diploma in Children & Young People (or willingness to work towards it). A full UK driving licence. Flexibility to work shifts, weekends, evenings, and sleep-ins.

What We Offer

Competitive pay - in the top 5% of the sector. 28 days annual leave. Fully funded qualifications (Level 3/4/5). Clear progression routes into Team Leader, Registered Manager, and beyond. 500 Refer-a-Friend bonus. Employee rewards, recognition, and staff appreciation initiatives. A supportive team culture where your voice matters. The opportunity to have a meaningful, life-changing impact on a child's future.

If you want to help children feel safe, supported, and hopeful again - apply today.
