What the role looks like As a Residential Support Worker, you'll provide emotional support to our young people and help with day-to-day activities such as getting washed, dressed and out to college. if you are working a shift during the weekend, you will barely be on-site at the home because the fun is elsewhere

• think theme parks, bowling alleys, cinemas and zoos.

You'll have so much fun that you'll almost forget you're at work.

With the good times will come challenging times, with our homes accommodating young people with autism, learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs.

Although our Residential Support Workers tell us that the strong relationships and lasting memories that you create together will more than make up for these challenges.

For them, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing a young person overcome difficulties and progress.
