to join our therapeutic children's residential home in Redhill. This is a unique opportunity to fit work around your life while making a lasting difference for young people who need care, stability, and support.

Why This Role Stands Out

Balanced Shift Pattern:

Work a structured rota (10:00am-11:00pm, sleep-in, 7:00am-10:30am) with full rest days between shifts. Earn around 250 per 24.5-hour shift, including a 60 sleep-in allowance.

True Flexibility:

Pick the shifts that work for you -- whether that's occasional cover or more regular hours.

Purpose in Every Shift:

Support young people aged 10-18, helping them build trust, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

Therapeutic Environment:

Our home is set near the beautiful Surrey Hills, surrounded by tranquil gardens and therapy animals, creating a calm and nurturing space for both young people and staff.
What You'll Be Doing

Every shift gives you the chance to create meaningful impact. As part of a supportive team, you'll provide consistent, nurturing care, help with daily routines, join in activities, and offer calm reassurance when challenges arise.

Your responsibilities will include:

Building positive, trusting relationships with young people. Supporting daily routines such as mealtimes, education, and bedtime. Encouraging therapeutic and recreational activities, including outdoor play. Responding to challenges with empathy and composure. Working collaboratively with the permanent team to ensure consistent care. Maintaining accurate records in line with safeguarding standards.
What We're Looking For

Experience in residential childcare or a similar care setting. Confidence supporting young people with complex emotional needs. A trauma-informed, empathetic approach to care. Strong communication skills, resilience, and reliability. A full UK driving licence. Availability to work 24.5-hour shifts as outlined above.
What You'll Gain

Around 250 per 24.5-hour shift (including sleep-in allowance). Genuine flexibility -- work when it suits you. A comprehensive induction and ongoing therapeutic training. A supportive, reflective team culture where your contribution matters. Opportunities to progress into permanent roles if desired. The chance to make a lasting difference -- even in just one shift.
