Our Residential Support Worker is an entry level role where you don't need previous experience or qualifications, we're looking for a positive attitude and the desire to give the best care to children and young people.

You'll create a safe and supportive environment for children and young people to grow and develop, ensuring wellbeing is prioritised by delivering personalised care, guidance and advocacy. It's key that they stay safe and healthy and can reach their full potential.

**Good to know**

As a non-profit organization, we are committed to the recent update from the Welsh Government in relation to **‘eliminating private profit from the care of children looked after**'.
- “80% of care homes in Wales are run by the private sector. _Our aim is to ensure that public money invested in the care of children looked after does not profit individuals or corporate entities, but is wholly spent on children's services to deliver better experiences and outcomes for children and young people, supporting service development and improvement and further professional development for staff.”_

By 2027, they aim to have the care of children who are looked after in Wales, to be provided by the public Sector and charitable or non-profile organisations.

**Diversity, equality and inclusion**
