I'm recruiting on behalf of a local council for Residential Support Workers to join their dedicated teams supporting young people with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD), learning disabilities, autism, and non-verbal needs.

This is a brilliant opportunity to build a rewarding career within a well-established and supportive local authority.

Why This Role?
✔ Work directly with young people in a meaningful and life-changing role
✔ Join a respected, stable local council team
✔ Ongoing training and professional development
✔ Competitive pay and enhanced rates for unsociable hours
✔ Make a genuine impact in your community

What We’re Looking For:
• Aged 21 or over
• Experience with young people – this could be in residential care, youth work, SEN (EBD/LD), semi-independent settings, voluntary work, or fostering
• Relevant qualifications are a bonus (Youth Work, Psychology, Criminology, etc.)
• Must be flexible and able to work mornings, evenings, weekends, and one sleep-in per week
