** TEAM LEADER REQUIRED!** Childrens Residential Support Worker

As the new Residential Care Worker, you will be emotionally strong and driven to make a difference day to day. Most importantly, you will get to really understand our children and their backgrounds, making sure that their needs are at the centre of everything we do. You will be approachable and detail focused, ensuring that our children's safety is assured at all times, and that all protocols and regulations are fully adhered to.

Do you have what it takes to encourage and help our children to live independently and guide and teach them with your own life experiences? To do this we believe you will need empathy, compassion, resilience and positive parenting skills.

The working day can be unpredictable and you could find yourself spending the morning organising activities and the afternoon providing 1:1 support.

We are looking for enthusiastic, energetic, flexible and caring people to join our team across Preston and surrounding areas to continue improving the lives of the young people within our care.
