The welfare of our young people is paramount in the role of a Residential Care Worker. Not only do Residential Care Worker's keep our young people safe, but as the daily care provider they also make a fundamental contribution to their care, learning and development. A key figure within the team, you'll build invaluable bridges between Supporting Futures and the local community, promoting social inclusion as you support people with emotional and behavioral difficulties to reach their full potential.

Residential Care Worker's advocate pro-actively for each young person's needs, rights and views and ensure that these are met. They also make certain that each young person's individuality, difference and diversity are always appreciated and that our young people are provided with equal opportunities and are not discriminated against.

Residential Care Worker's encourage each young person to be involved in all aspects of their care. This will involve skill development, problem solving and assessment of risk, while being mindful of their individual capabilities.

Through a consistent approach to care our young people acquire self-esteem and resilience, as well as self-knowledge and improved general well-being. Residential Care Worker's also work with each young person's parents and families, as appropriate, recognising that they are the young person's first and most enduring carers and that our role is as a partner in each young person's care.

To keep our young people safe it is imperative that all information about our young people is always kept appropriately confidential.

As an organisation we value learning and we encourage staff to help us continually seek new ways to improve our service. Residential Care Worker's support, and are supported by, the team in each home and they report to their nominated home manager
