Make a real difference as a Children's Residential Support Worker with The Cambian Group in Wolverhampton, supporting vulnerable children and young people in a warm, structured home. You’ll plan activities, provide one‑to‑one emotional support, accompany young people on trips, encourage schooling and community links, and help with household routines such as cooking and laundry. This permanent, full‑time role pays £12.69–£13.31 per hour (depending on experience) plus £30 for each sleep‑in and an overtime rate of x1.25. A comprehensive two‑week paid induction, enhanced DBS checks covered and a rota provided four weeks in advance mean you’ll start confident and prepared.

This position is ideal for compassionate, resilient carers — no prior experience is required, only commitment, flexibility and the ability to read situations and advocate for young people. Applicants must be at least 21; a full UK driving licence is desirable but not essential. The shift pattern is 2 days on, 4 days off (sleep‑ins are mandatory), typically amounting to 2–3 shifts per week, offering genuine work–life balance and strong support from experienced colleagues.
