Children's Residential Care Worker
YMCA Robin Hood Group - Selby
£29,232
PermanentFull time
Job Advert We're not looking for heroes. Heroes turn up, save the day and leave. The children who live with us need something much rarer. They need adults who stay. Adults who keep showing up, even when trust takes time. Adults who remain calm when emotions run high. Adults who understand that sometimes the most important thing you can offer a child is consistency. The children who live in our homes have experienced significant challenges in their lives. Some have learning disabilities, autism, or complex emotional needs. Many have learnt through experience that adults don't always stick around. That's where you come in. Success in this role doesn't always look the way people imagine. Sometimes it's helping a child attend school for the first time in weeks. Sometimes it's teaching a young person how to cook their favourite meal. Sometimes it's supporting someone through a difficult day safely. Sometimes it's hearing a child laugh more than they did when they first moved in. The biggest achievements are rarely dramatic. They're usually found in hundreds of ordinary moments that, over time, help children feel safer, happier and more confident about their future. What you'll be doing As a Residential Therapeutic Care Worker, you'll be part of a child's everyday life. You'll help create a home where children feel safe, valued and encouraged to achieve their potential. You'll support with: - Daily routines, school runs and appointments - Activities, hobbies and new experiences - Building confidence, independence and life skills - Supporting children through difficult emotions - Working alongside families and professionals - Recording and celebrating progress - Creating a warm, safe and nurturing home environment No two days are the same, but every day matters. Who we're looking for We're interested in who you are as much as what you've done. You might already work in care, education or youth work. Equally, you may be looking for a career that has real meaning and purpose. We're looking for people who are: - Resilient and emotionally aware - Calm under pressure - Good at building relationships - Willing to learn and reflect - Committed to helping children thrive Due to the specific location of the home, you will need access to your own car as it is unreachable by public transport. The practical bits - Salary: £29,232 per year - Additional sleep-in payments paid at £80 per sleep in. - Full-time, permanent role - Mixture of long days, evenings, weekends and sleep-ins - Fully funded training and qualifications - Ongoing development and progression opportunities - Regular supervision and reflective practice Why people stay in this job Because every so often, often when you least expect it, you realise you've made a difference. A young person trusts you enough to ask for help. A child achieves something they never thought they could. A conversation that seemed ordinary at the time becomes a turning point. Those moments are why this work matters. If you're looking for a career with purpose, challenge and the opportunity to genuinely change lives, we'd love to hear from you. YMCA Robin Hood Group is committed to equal opportunities, promoting diversity, and creating an inclusive culture where all staff can thrive. Should you require any adjustments to support your full participation in our recruitment process, we would encourage you to share your needs with us so we can support you with your requirements. We follow rigorous safer recruitment processes to ensure the protection of children, young people, and adults at risk. All applicants will be subject to enhanced DBS checks, reference checks, and thorough vetting as part of our commitment to safeguarding.
