About The Role

Residential Support Worker

About The Role

As a Residential Support Worker at Bedspace, you’ll provide high-quality support to young people as they work towards independence. You’ll play a key role in helping them develop the practical skills, confidence, and emotional resilience needed to live independently and thrive within their local community. Each day will bring new challenges and opportunities, but the overall goal remains the same — to empower young people to build positive, independent futures.

You’ll use our ASDAN modules to guide young people through key areas, including finance and budgeting, tenancy support, personal development, health and wellbeing, healthy eating, relationships, and culture. Your role will involve helping them develop essential life skills, encouraging independence, and supporting them through their day-to-day challenges.

This role is based in the Halton, St Helens and Wirral area. A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle with business insurance are essential.

Salary: £34,375.24 per year (including sleep-in payments)

This is made up of a £25,800 basic salary (13.45 per hour), plus additional payments of £71.28 per sleep-in shift. You will typically work around 10 shifts per month.

About You

You are empathetic, patient, and resilient, with a genuine passion for supporting young people. You have experience working with individuals who have complex emotional and social needs, including those affected by trauma, mental health issues, and challenging behaviours.

Your communication skills are strong, and you are comfortable working both independently and as part of a team. Flexibility and a sense of humour are key, as you will need to adapt to changing situations while maintaining a positive and proactive approach.

Key Responsibilities

Provide tailored support to young people, helping them develop essential life skills.
Assist with educational, health, and welfare needs, ensuring access to necessary resources.
Maintain accurate records and reports of service users’ progress.
Help young people manage daily tasks and appointments.
Contribute to a safe and supportive environment through regular communication and monitoring.

Requirements

Must have the legal right to work in the UK.
Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle with business insurance.
Willingness to undergo an Enhanced DBS check.
Strong interpersonal skills.
Have, or be willing to work towards, an NVQ Level 3 Health & Social Care qualification.
Experience working with young people who have complex needs in a social care setting.
Thorough knowledge of safeguarding vulnerable adults and children.
Computer literate, with the ability to manage administrative tasks.
Willingness to work flexible hours, including nights and weekends.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

It searches the market for you

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

If you’re committed to making a real difference in the lives of young people, we’d love to hear from you!
