As a senior residential worker you should be highly motivated, committed and have a genuine interest in delivering the highest quality of care for children and young adults in an outstanding residential setting.

You will support the care team, deputy manager and manager in developing the service, contributing to positive outcomes for the children and young adults and the service as a whole.

Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, to include clinical staff such as psychiatrist, psychologists, occupational health, therapist, education and social workers in order to achieve positive outcomes.
