Extraordinary Days, Every Day.

Are you looking for a career where you can make a tangible difference? Supportive Bridge Staffing Agency is proud to recruit on behalf of the Cambian Group, one of the UK's leading and most trusted providers of children's residential care.

We are seeking compassionate, enthusiastic individuals to join a dedicated team in Warrington. At Cambian, you aren't just working—you are shaping futures. Every moment you spend with our young people (ages 8–18) helps them feel safe, valued, and supported. Whether it's a simple "How was your day?", a shared laugh over a board game, or providing quiet encouragement during a tough moment, you will build the trust that helps change lives.

### Where You’ll Do It: A Nurturing Dual-Occupancy Home

This Warrington service is a lovely dual-occupancy home committed to providing high-quality, person-centred care. The home focuses heavily on promoting personal safety, social inclusion, and teaching young people the skills they need to live safely, confidently, and independently.

Meet the Residents: The home currently cares for two unique individuals who love engaging with staff. One is a highly talented competitive ice skater who also loves park runs and long walks. The other is a newer addition to the home who is absolutely full of life and loves nothing more than a good chat with the team!
A Resilient Team Culture: You will join a tightly knit staff team that genuinely pulls together. They support one another through thick and thin to ensure the young people always have absolute consistency and stability in their daily routines.

### Your Role: What You’ll Do

As a Residential Support Worker, you will guide the young people through their daily routines and help build a stable, loving household:

Daily Support: Help the young people prepare for school, assist with meal preparation, and establish positive daily structures.
Homemaking: Contribute to a warm, clean, and welcoming home environment through light housekeeping.
Therapeutic Relationships: Form deep, trust-based connections using patience, active listening, and emotional support.
Activities & Community: Get involved with their hobbies! Join in on walks, help facilitate trips to the ice rink, or plan cozy popcorn and movie nights at home.
Essential Tracking: Keep accurate daily logs and records to ensure continuous, high-quality care.

### Who You Are

Your Traits: You are naturally warm, highly patient, an excellent listener, and a proactive encourager focused on achieving great outcomes for others.
Experience Level: No prior care experience? No problem! If you bring the right heart, dedication, and passion, Cambian will provide you with all the expert training you need.

### Why Join the Family?

Cambian ensures their team members feel just as supported as the children in their care, offering a premium benefits package:

Financial Perks: Competitive hourly rate plus an additional £30 per sleep-in.
Lifestyle Discounts: Exclusive savings at major high-street retailers (ASDA, Tesco, M&S, etc.).
Health & Wellbeing: Dental and optical cashback schemes (after two years of service).
24/7 Support: Access to employee helplines and hardship grants via the CareTech Foundation.
Expert Training: Two weeks of fully funded, intensive induction training to set you up for success.
Career Growth: Fully funded Diplomas (Levels 3–5) and clear, direct pathways for internal promotion.
