At New Chapters, our mission is to provide every child with a foundation built on love, care, compassion, and sturdiness -- a safe and nurturing home where they are truly seen, heard, and valued.

We believe that every child deserves not only safety, but the chance to thrive. By embracing their individual needs, and encouraging their interests and passions, we support children with us to take confident steps toward a new future filled with possibility.

This is more than just care -- it is a privilege. Each moment we share with a child is a chance to empower them to feel fulfilled, resilient, and ready to shape a life they are proud of.

If you want to make a genuine difference to children's lives, then we want you.

We offer a home to up to 3 children with learning disabilities such as autism, and provide them with a safe, nurturing home that celebrates them for who they are. Their childhood should be filled with joy, discovery and a sense of belonging, which will give them the foundation to lead a life with confidence, resilience and strength.

Experience of helping children with learning disabilities, either in a paid role, voluntary or through personal experience, is preferred but not essential.

What you'll find at New Chapters

As a Senior Residential Care Worker, you'll take on a vital role in shaping both the lives of children and the development of your team. You'll find:

A career where you can inspire, guide, and support others to deliver outstanding care. The trust and backing of an experienced leadership team. A competitive salary, sleep-in payments, and pension scheme. Ongoing training and development to strengthen your leadership skills. A culture that values teamwork, fairness, and promoting from within. A rota pattern that supports a healthy work-life balance. Flexibility to step in when your team needs you -- including covering shifts when required, helping maintain stability for the children.

What you bring:

We're looking for leaders who share our ethos of love, care, compassion, and sturdiness. You will bring:

Proven experience in residential childcare. A Level 3 qualification in Children & Young People (or equivalent). The ability to lead by example -- modelling patience, compassion, and resilience. Strong organisational and communication skills. A team spirit, with the ability to guide colleagues through challenges and celebrate successes.
