About Your Chapter

At Your Chapter, we are a specialist provider of residential care and education, dedicated to supporting vulnerable children and young people who have experienced complex trauma and abuse. Guided by our core values, we aim to transform the lives of those in our care across England and Wales.

As a Children’s Residential Support Worker, you’ll be a crucial part of a passionate team, helping vulnerable young people through their challenges and creating positive change in their lives.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Residential Support Worker, your role will include:

  • Supporting daily routines : Supporting children with personal care, meal preparation, and daily activities to help them develop independence
  • Educational support : Encouraging and supporting children in their learning journey, assisting with homework, and helping them develop new skills
  • Leading recreational activities : Organising and leading recreational activities, including fun events and holidays, to increase engagement and enhance well-being.
  • Emotional support : Providing guidance, care, and person-centred support to help children navigate difficult moments
  • Documentation : Completing care plans, reports, and maintaining accurate records.
  • Maintaining a safe environment : Ensuring the home is clean, secure, and well-organised
  • Team collaboration : Working closely with colleagues to create a positive, nurturing environment

Every day is unique, with opportunities to make a real difference in the lives of the children you care for.

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking individuals who are:

  • Caring and Compassionate : A genuine passion for making a positive impact on vulnerable children’s lives
  • Resilient : Able to handle emotionally demanding situations and provide stability to children in need
  • Team-Oriented : Comfortable working as part of a collaborative and supportive team
  • Communicative : Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build relationships with children, colleagues, and external partners
  • Motivated : Committed to providing high-quality care and working toward the best outcomes for children and young people
  • Flexible : Willing to work shifts that include evenings, weekends, and sleep-ins
