Residential Care Worker

The Role

Join our award-winning team

• Are you passionate about wanting to make a difference to young people’s lives?
• Do you want a job that is varied and rewarding, where you’ll also be getting out and about planning and organising social activities locally and further afield?
• No experience is necessary. We’ll provide full training, including British Sign Language (BSL) training.

We’re seeking Residential Care Workers to join our inspiring team supporting our students (aged 9-25) to develop their independent living skills, whilst supporting their education. The role will be in either our new adult residential centre, or part of our on-site residential flats at the academy. Both are based in Exmouth, a couple of minutes walk from the beach.

Every day as a Residential Care Worker is different. You’ll be supporting our young people who live in our Academy Residential Home to develop their independent living skills, as well as organising social activities, for example, activities in the local community, trips to the beach, cinema or bowling, as well as trips further afield. Our students spend their day in our School or College, some also doing work placements or qualifications elsewhere, after which they return to our residential care flats. The shift pattern for this role is therefore outside of 'school hours'.

*This position is working during the academy's term time, plus an additional 5 training days.

Salary is pending September pay award.

We have a number of roles available for November 2024, and will therefore be shortlisting applications on a rolling basis.
