Service Overview: Barnardo's, the UK's largest Children's Charity are currently on an exciting and innovative Journey alongside Leicestershire County Council to deliver a range of Children's homes for the most vulnerable children & young people in Leicestershire.

Although a specific home will be your base location, you must be flexible to travel throughout the locality to cover shifts in other homes should the need arise. Our homes are located in Hinckley, Coalville and Syston.

Our beautiful new home in Syston will support children & young people between 8-18 years who have experienced trauma/significant life events which have negatively impacted their emotional well-being. The service will provide up to 3 service users at any one-time opportunities to enjoy different experiences, establish friendships and develop confidence, independence and support/restore their well-being and mental health.

Some of the responsibilities of the role include but are not limited to:

To build trust and develop nurturing relationships which promote the service user's independence, wellbeing, strengths, and capabilities. To work in partnership and build relationships with parents/carers and other professionals. To contribute to the upkeep of the home including cooking, cleaning etc. To document information accurately and ensure records are kept up to date. To ensure safeguarding policies and procedures are adhered to. To promote, monitor and maintain a safe environment at all times.

Essential requirements to evidence in your written application:

Must hold the Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare OR be willing to successfully achieve this within the required timeframe. Must be motivated by the opportunity to make a positive difference in young people's lives, creating a safe space and building resilience. Ability to demonstrate a good understanding of safeguarding and protection of vulnerable children & young people. Flexibility to commit to sleep-ins and shift work, including weekends and bank holidays. Relevant experience working with children & young people is desirable, but not essential with the right attitude and willingness to learn.

For more information about this role, please contact 

When completing your application please refer to your skills knowledge and experience in relation to the Person Specification, Job Description and Additional Information document. This should be done with an understanding of the context of the service described.

Please note due to the high volume of applications for some posts, this advert might close before the displayed closing date. We recommend that you apply for this role as soon as possible.

Pay & Reward Framework

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's . We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out 1st April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a key pillar of our Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to grow and develop in their career at Barnardo's as it will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues to progress through the pay band of their role.

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay progression steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
