About the Role
About the Role
As a Bank Residential Childcare Worker at Bedspace, you'll provide high-quality care and support to children and young people living in our residential homes. You'll play a vital role in creating a safe, nurturing, and stable environment where children can feel valued, build trusting relationships, and achieve positive outcomes.
No two days are the same. You'll support children with their daily routines, encourage their education and personal development, promote positive behaviour, and help them develop the confidence and life skills they need for the future. Working alongside a dedicated team, you'll ensure each child receives individualised care in line with their care plans while maintaining a warm, supportive home environment.
This is a bank (casual) role, offering flexible shifts across our residential children's homes. Shifts are offered on an as-needed basis to meet service demand and include days, evenings, weekends, waking nights, and sleep-in duties where required.
Please note that holiday pay is included within the hourly rate.
A full UK driving licence is essential, as you may be required to transport young people to appointments, education, and recreational activities.
About You
You are compassionate, resilient, and committed to making a positive difference in the lives of children and young people. You understand the importance of providing consistent care and building positive relationships, particularly with children who may have experienced trauma, neglect, or adverse childhood experiences.
You remain calm under pressure, communicate effectively, and work well both independently and as part of a team. You're flexible, reliable, and passionate about helping children reach their full potential.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide safe, nurturing, and child-centred care in line with individual care plans.
- Support children with daily routines, education, health appointments, hobbies, and social activities.
- Build positive, trusting relationships that promote emotional wellbeing and resilience.
- Encourage positive behaviour using trauma-informed and therapeutic approaches.
- Maintain accurate daily records, incident reports, and other required documentation.
- Contribute to creating a safe, welcoming, and homely environment.
- Work collaboratively with colleagues, families, social workers, and other professionals to achieve the best outcomes for children.
- Safeguard and promote the welfare of all children and young people in your care.
Requirements
- Experience working with children and young people in a residential childcare or social care setting is desirable.
- A good understanding of safeguarding, child protection, and promoting the welfare of children.
- Strong communication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to remain calm and resilient in challenging situations.
- Computer literate, with the ability to complete care records and administrative tasks accurately.
- Willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekends, waking nights, bank holidays, and sleep-ins.
- Must have the legal right to work in the UK.
- Willingness to undergo an Enhanced DBS check.
- Full UK driving licence with access to a vehicle insured for Business use.
