: Amazing Things are Happening Here!

We are looking for several experienced residential support workers in Uttoxeter for a 4 bed children's home that looks after young people with EBD and LD and the associated behaviours that challenge. The basic salary is a 33,000 to 35,000 which = 17.19p to 18.23p per hour, and 55 per sleep-in.

The home is situated 17 miles from Stoke, 15 miles from Stafford, 12 miles from Ashbourne and 13 miles from Burton on Trent.

About the home:

Located in a quiet residential area within a well-connected market town in Staffordshire, our new four-bedroom children's home provides a safe, warm, and thoughtfully designed space for young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD) and learning disabilities (LD).

The home sits in a peaceful neighbourhood with nearby parks, schools, and community facilities, offering a sense of stability and belonging while maintaining privacy and security for the young people in our care.

Inside, the property blends modern comfort with homely character. A large, open kitchen and dining space encourages shared routines such as cooking and eating together, while two living areas offer both a social hub and a quieter space for reflection. The interior design has been carefully chosen to promote calm, familiarity, and wellbeing.

Each young person has their own spacious bedroom, tailored to meet their individual needs and preferences, with opportunities for personalisation and privacy. An additional therapeutic room provides a quiet, comfortable space for one-on-one sessions or self-regulation.

About Bayleaf Care

Bayleaf Care provides exceptional care for children and young people across the UK, especially those who have faced trauma. We use the PACE model, which creates a safe, caring environment to help children feel secure and build positive relationships.

Our approach starts with the key worker, who forms a strong, trusting bond with the child. This relationship is essential for the child's development and continues throughout their care.

We offer personalized care, education, and treatment led by a team of trained professionals, helping children manage their emotions and behaviours in a safe, supportive environment.

We currently have 3 children's homes open, with another home due to open by late spring and a further 2 homes opening by Autumn.

Each children's home has their own permanent on-site therapist and a pool car.

Job overview:

The role of a support worker is to provide 24-hour care and support to the young people in our care. This is a residential children's home so there are practical duties such as general cooking and cleaning but there are also fun things to do, engaging the young people with activities both inside and outside of the home.

A caring and supportive attitude is essential for this role, and we welcome people that have experience with either adults or children with challenging behaviour.

This increased salary of 17.19p to 18.23p per hour is to reflect the complex young people we will look after. Sleep-ins are paid at 55

Total salary is between 34,320 to 38,300 for the contracted hours of an average of 160 hours, per calendar month, plus there is the opportunity to do overtime at any of the other children's homes.

There are waking night staff so sleep-ins are limited to 2-5 sleep-ins per month, but there will be the option to do either more or less sleep-in shifts.

The shift pattern is 1 day on 2 days off

Shifts start at 7am to 11pm, sleep-ins are 11pm to 7am, finish 7.30am after handover.

There is a comprehensive induction, ongoing training, fantastic career prospects as the company grows and you will be enrolled on the Level 3 diploma for residential childcare.
