You carry out health care tasks and duties that can be met through appropriate training and delegation of clinical procedures in line with the 2005 Royal College of Nursing Guidelines.

You may be new to the care profession or experienced and want a change. What’s important is the ability to form effective relationships with children with disabilities, your life experiences, personal strength and positive attitude.

  • Building positive, trusting relationships and acting as a strong role model.
  • Supporting children with education, activities, independence skills and personal development.
  • Working as part of a dedicated team to create a warm, caring and stable home environment.
  • Maintaining accurate records and contributing to care planning and reviews.
  • Supporting children with complex emotional, behavioural or additional needs.
  • Promoting safeguarding, welfare and positive outcomes for all children in our care.

What we're looking for We're seeking people who:

  • Have experience working with children, young people or families, either professionally or through relevant life experience.
  • Have good computer skills, including experience with Microsoft Office and the ability to use business systems effectively.
  • Are caring, patient and able to build positive relationships.
  • Can remain calm and use good judgement in challenging situations.
  • Are flexible, reliable and willing to work as part of a team.
  • Have good communication, literacy and digital skills.
  • Are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion.
  • A willingness to achieve the NVQ Level 3 in Residential Childcare within two years of appointment, if not already held.

What we offer

  • Flexible casual hours to fit around your availability. Various shift pattens available including night work.
  • Comprehensive induction, training and development opportunities.
  • The chance to gain valuable experience within children's residential care.
  • Support from experienced managers and colleagues.
  • The opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable children and young people.
  • Norfolk Pension Scheme – every employee is automatically enrolled into the workplace pension scheme.
  • Norfolk Rewards – employee discount programme offering exclusive savings and discounts.
  • Accrued holiday entitlement based on hours worked.
  • Career development linked to our career pathways with opportunities from entry level up to management roles.

You may work across different children's homes as required. An Enhanced DBS check will be required for successful applicants. A full driving licence is required. We cannot offer sponsorship for this role.

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.
