Athena Children's Services support young people with social, emotional, behavioural and mental health needs. We’re looking for Residential Children's care workers who can create an environment where our children can really thrive.

By making sure our children’s home is a great place to stay, you’ll be having a lasting positive impact on the lives of the children in your care. It’s truly rewarding work with some amazing benefits - not least the sense of pride that comes from being part of something truly life-changing.

Compassionate, emotionally resilient, and supportive, you’ll be an inspirational support to your team. You’ll help the Team Leaders and Deputy Manager to plan and lead shifts, plan activities and make sure all the paperwork is up to date. You will have the training and development to build resilience and enable you to deal with challenging behaviour and you will build good communication skills. Ideally you will have the Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent) but if not we will fund and support you to achieve this. We will also give you additional outstanding training to help you do your best and develop in this sector. In return, you’ll need to be happy to work flexible hours, including sleep-in duties, and have a full UK driving licence.
