The Role: Support Worker

We are recruiting a compassionate and resilient Support Worker to join a well‑established children’s residential home in Mansfield. This service supports young people aged 7–17 who have experienced trauma and adversity and need a calm, consistent, nurturing environment to thrive.

As a Support Worker, you will provide steady, therapeutic care, build positive relationships and act as a trusted adult role model. While behaviours can be challenging at times, the focus is on relational, trauma‑informed care rather than crisis‑led intervention.

This Support Worker role is ideal for individuals who value meaningful relationships, structure, and seeing young people progress emotionally and socially.

Key Responsibilities – Support Worker

  * Deliver consistent, child‑centred care in line with care plans

  * Build safe, trusting and positive relationships with young people

  * Support emotional regulation using PACE and DDP approaches

  * Safeguard young people and follow all policies and procedures

  * Assist with daily routines, personal care and life skills

  * Support education, activities and community involvement

  * Maintain accurate records and communicate effectively with professionals

Working Pattern

  * 40 hours per week

  * 1 on / 2 off shift pattern

  * Day shifts with limited sleep‑ins

Requirements

  * Level 3 or 4 Diploma in Residential Child Care

  * Minimum age 22 (Ofsted requirement)

  * Right to work in the UK (no sponsorship available)

  * Full manual UK driving licence

  * Good spoken and written English

  * Enhanced DBS required

Previous experience in children’s residential care, youth work or similar settings is desirable but not essential for the right candidate with the right values.
