Senior Support Worker

Children's Residential (EBD) | Salisbury | Competitive Salary

Ready to take the next step in your childcare career? Want a role where you can truly make a difference every single day?

We're recruiting for a Senior Support Worker to join a dedicated children's residential home supporting young people with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD) in Salisbury.

This is more than just a job—it's an opportunity to positively shape young lives while developing your leadership skills in a supportive and rewarding environment.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Make a real, lasting impact on young people's lives


• Clear progression into Deputy Manager and beyond


• Be part of a supportive, close-knit team


• Ongoing training and professional development opportunities


• A rewarding role where no two days are the same

Your Role

As a Senior Support Worker, you'll play a key role in supporting the day-to-day running of the home while leading by example on shift.

You'll provide high-quality care and support to young people with complex emotional and behavioural needs, helping them build stability, resilience, and independence.

Alongside this, you'll support and guide junior staff, ensuring best practices and safeguarding standards are consistently met.

From managing shifts and contributing to care plans to handling challenging situations with confidence and compassion, you'll be central to creating a safe and nurturing environment.

What We're Looking For

• Level 3 Diploma in Children & Young People's Workforce (or equivalent)


• Experience within children's residential care, mental health, or secure settings


• Strong understanding of EBD and safeguarding practices


• Confidence in leading shifts and supporting team members


• Resilient, empathetic, and passionate about making a difference

What You'll Get in Return

• Competitive salary (dependent on experience)


• Opportunities for career progression


• Ongoing training and qualifications


• Supportive management and team environment


• The chance to truly change lives
