Do you want to make a real difference in a child's life?
We're looking for compassionate and resilient Residential Childcare Support Workers to join our brand-new children's home in Keighley.

You'll be part of a small, supportive team helping children aged 6-11 years who have experienced trauma, neglect, or exclusion. This is your chance to be a mentor, role model, and positive influence - helping children rebuild trust, confidence, and hope for the future.

• Get involved in fun and creative activities such as art, gaming, swimming, and cooking
• Help develop life skills and emotional resilience
• Work collaboratively with other professionals and families to ensure the best outcomes
• Follow care and behaviour plans designed around each child's individual needs

It's a challenging but deeply rewarding role - one where your empathy, patience, and resilience will truly change lives.

🧩 About the Home

Steps for Tomorrow is a brand-new 2-bed children's home providing high-quality care and support for children with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD).

We believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued - and we're building a team that shares that belief.

💡 What We're Looking For

• A caring, patient, and resilient personality
• A genuine passion for helping children with EBD or trauma backgrounds
• Team player with good communication skills
• Willingness to work shifts and sleep-ins
• Experience in a children's residential or EBD setting is desirable but not essential (full training provided)
