Senior Support Worker | Wisbech, Cambridgeshire | Full Time, Permanent | £40,185.60 per annum + £200 monthly on-call allowance
Help lead a home where young people can finally feel safe.
Great residential care doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because someone on shift sets the tone: calm under pressure, clear with the team and always focused on the child. That someone could be you.
Karoo Group is looking for an experienced Senior Support Worker to join our small, established children’s home in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. You’ll work closely with the Registered Manager, guide a settled, close-knit team, and stay hands-on in the daily lives of the young people we care for.
Role details
About the home
Our Wisbech home supports young people with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, including children who have experienced trauma and have complex needs. Our approach is therapeutic, trauma-informed and relationship-based, drawing on Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy), attachment-informed care and restorative approaches. We want it to feel like a home, not an institution.
*Essential*
*Desirable*
You might be a Senior Support Worker, Deputy Manager, Team Leader or Senior Residential Childcare Worker today, or an experienced Residential Support Worker ready for your next step.
