About Our Client

Our client is a trusted provider of children’s residential services, committed to creating safe, nurturing homes where children can thrive. Their homes are well-resourced, professionally staffed, and designed to provide stability and emotional support for children aged 8–18. They believe in empowering staff through training, development, and clear career progression opportunities.

About the Role

As a Senior Support Worker, you’ll play a vital role in leading and mentoring a dedicated team, ensuring the highest standards of care for children in our Ollerton solo placement home. This is a low-risk, nurturing environment focused on emotional wellbeing, routine, and personal growth—not a setting where you face aggressive behaviours daily.

* Oversee daily operations and ensure compliance with safeguarding standards

* Support the development and implementation of individual care plans

* Foster positive relationships and emotional wellbeing for children

* Collaborate with management and external professionals to coordinate care

What We Offer:

* Salary: £33,500 – £36,500 per year

* Regular working pattern for better work-life balance

* Comprehensive training and development with increases in salary attached to completion.

* Clear progression pathways into management roles

* Supportive leadership and well-resourced homes

What We’re Looking For:

* QCF Level 3/4 (essential); Level 5 (desirable)

* Minimum 2 years’ experience in residential childcare with leadership skills

* Strong understanding of child development and safeguarding

* Full UK driving licence
