At Cambian, everything you do matters. As a Children's Residential Care Worker, you'll become part of a home where your care, attention, and presence shape the lives of young people aged 8-18. From helping with homework to playing games or asking, "How was school?", every moment builds trust, confidence, and a sense of safety. Though the work is challenging, the reward comes in every breakthrough and smile. What You'll Do

Support young people in their daily routines, including school preparation, activities, and meal times.
Create a warm, homely environment by assisting with light housekeeping tasks.
Build relationships and provide emotional support during both highs and lows.
Participate in fun, meaningful activities like trips to the park, board games, or movies.
Complete essential planning and documentation.
New staff must be comfortable using an electronic care recording system on a daily basis to document, monitor, and update children and young people's records accurately. Experience with Clearcare is an advantage, but not essential, as full training will be provided. However, all staff are expected to confidently use digital systems as part of their day-to-day role.
