We can offer you a competitive salary starting at £26,515, staff benefits package and excellent career development in an expanding service for UAS children. No two days are the same.
Kent County Council’s Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking (UAS) Children’s Service provides accommodation and support to newly arrived unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in Kent. The Service leads on social work practice with unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in Kent, which Ofsted recognises as Outstanding. The Service is developing as a centre of excellence for social work practice nationally and we are seeking passionate individuals to join our service.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Service’s Children’s Home teams. The Reception and Safe Care Services are Kent County Council owned, Ofsted regulated, children’s homes and supported accommodation, collectively termed Reception Centres. The Reception Centres, and the services they provide to children, are run by a diverse team of managers and workers, who are all committed to ensuring children are protected and supported to take the first steps in their journey to a more permanent home elsewhere in the UK.
We are seeking Residential Support Workers who have experience of working with children and who thrive on direct work and providing support in a residential setting. Successful applicants need to have strong communication skills, be innovative and passionate about their work. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and influence the resettlement of children in the UK who have suffered trauma and change. This role involves managing routines, setting goals for young people, timekeeping and facilitating a learning culture in the centre. This role is important for UAS children during their early stages in the UK.
If you are enthusiastic about working with adolescents, understand the UAS children’s journey and want to help achieve the best outcomes for them - please apply.
This post will be required to work across a rolling shift pattern, with weekly alternating shifts, and regular cover over weekends.

- Basic salary of between £26,515 and £28,850 per annum
- Annual leave allowance of 27 days (29 days after 5 years’ service)
