Senior Support Worker Childrens in Garstang inGarstang PUBLISHED MON 3 NOV 2025 Jump to job information section

Caretech’s ROC Northwest home in Garstang (PR1 8XJ) is recruiting a Senior Support Worker (Children’s Residential/Team Leader) to run shifts in a small, family-style setting supporting children who have experienced trauma and may have autism, SEBD or other complex needs. You will lead and coordinate shift duties, assign and monitor tasks, support and develop relationships between the children and their families and local community, safeguard vulnerable young people and support all aspects of daily living. When children are away from the home you will keep standards high with light housekeeping and hygiene oversight. This permanent, full-time role involves day shifts (for example 08:00–22:00) and sleep-ins (22:00–07:00), which means you may be away from home on some shifts, and a full UK manual driving licence is required.

This role is for experienced carers who hold Level 3 in Children’s Residential Care and have at least two years’ experience in a residential setting; leadership experience is preferred. You’ll receive a competitive starting rate of £13.99 per hour, paid sleep-ins at £78.30 (up to eight per month, which can add significantly to annual pay), a two-week paid induction with shadow shifts, a £500 welcome bonus after probation, a £1,000 refer-a-friend reward, company pension, staff recognition awards, free onsite parking and meals on shift, and a free enhanced DBS check. There is clear progression to Deputy Manager and Registered Manager roles for those who want to grow. Safeguarding is central to the role: an enhanced DBS/PVG and satisfactory references are required.
