  • Work closely with the Home Manager, professionals, and external agencies
  • Provide support to nearby homes when required
  • Participate fully in the 2 on / 4 off rota and sleep-ins

Requirements

  • Have worked in a children's residential home within the last 2 years
  • Be an experienced Senior Support Worker or Deputy
  • Be working towards or already hold a Children's Residential qualification (Level 3+)
  • Be knowledgeable in Ofsted requirements and regulatory compliance

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
