An exciting opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young people.

At Suffolk County Council's Halesworth Children's Home, you'll join a dedicated team providing round-the-clock care for up to 6 children and teenagers aged 11-17. We believe every child deserves a nurturing environment where they feel safe, supported, and empowered to thrive.

In this role, you will:

Build strong, trusting relationships with young residents through everyday interactions like preparing meals, assisting with schoolwork, and planning activities. Your empathy and active listening skills will help create an open, understanding atmosphere. Monitor the wellbeing of residents and liaise with other staff to address any issues promptly and sensitively. You'll stay calm under pressure, ready to de-escalate any conflicts. Encourage residents' personal growth and independence in a family-style setting. With patience and compassion, you'll support them to gain life skills. Work collaboratively with colleagues in a team environment. Your self-motivation and ability to take initiative will be valued.

No prior experience is required – we'll provide full training and support. Excellent benefits include a funded Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare and monthly supervision sessions.

If you're dedicated to making a difference in vulnerable young people's lives, we want to hear from you. This rewarding role offers the chance to change futures in a home from home.

Travelling requirements for your role

We positively encourage the use of technology to communicate and engage, but in this role, you will need to travel, so you must either hold a full and current driving licence and have access to personal transport or meet the mobility requirements of the role through other reasonable and suitable means. If you require a reasonable adjustment due to a disability to meet the travel requirements of this role, please speak with the contact detailed below.

Our residential homes are open 365 days a year and you will need the ability to work flexibly (shift work and weekend working are a core part of the role, including bank holidays).

We welcome interest from part time and casual workers too. Get in touch to learn more.
