If you want work that actually means something, read on. We are recruiting a residential care worker in Leicester, and this is not another clock-in, clock-out job. It is a chance to change a young person's story for the better.
Picture ending each shift knowing you made a young person feel safe, heard and a little more hopeful than they were that morning. That is the work here.
You will join a close team that backs each other, a provider that invests in proper training, and a career path that can take you as far as you are willing to go.
What you will be doing
- Provide day-to-day care and support to young people in a residential home
- Build trusted, positive relationships and role-model healthy behaviour
- Support education, activities, appointments and daily routines
- Keep clear, accurate records and follow care and safeguarding plans
Why you will love working here
- Full training and a clear development pathway
- Supportive team and regular supervision
- The chance to make a genuine difference to a young person's life
Is this you?
- Experience supporting children or young people (care, youth, education or SEN)
- A caring, resilient and patient approach
- Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare, or willingness to work towards it
- Enhanced DBS on the update service, or willingness to obtain one
Applications close on 11 October 2026. Great roles like this are filled quickly, so the sooner you apply the better.
Safeguarding: We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All roles are subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.
