Colchester, Essex, United Kingdom Essex County Council Full time

About the Role

We are seeking dedicated and compassionate Residential Support Workers to join our team at New Farm Road, a newly refurbished short-term home for five young people aged 12-16. As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will play a vital role in supporting these children as they develop the skills and resilience needed to return to their families or transition into longer-term care.

Your Responsibilities

  • Provide nurturing therapeutic care to children who have experienced trauma.
  • Offer support and guidance, acting as a positive role model and mentor.
  • Assist with daily living activities, promoting independence and self-sufficiency.
  • Implement behavior management strategies to ensure a safe and supportive environment.
  • Collaborate effectively with other professionals involved in the children's care.

Essential Skills and Qualities

You will possess:

  • A genuine passion for working with children and young people.
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
  • The ability to remain calm and patient in challenging situations.
  • A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the well-being of vulnerable individuals.
  • Flexibility and adaptability to meet the diverse needs of the children.

Training and Development

While previous experience in a residential setting is beneficial, it is not essential. We offer comprehensive training and development opportunities, including a Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare, to equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge for success. Regular supervision and support will be provided throughout your employment.
