Extraordinary Days Every Day
At Cambian, you're not just working - you're shaping futures. As a Residential Support Worker, based within the Manchester region, every moment you spend with our young people (ages 8-18) helps them feel safe, valued and supported.

A simple "How was your day?", a shared laugh over a board game or encouragement during a tough moment - these small interactions build trust and shape lives. Some days will be challenging but every breakthrough, every smile and every step forward will remind you why this work truly matters.

What You'll Do

• Support young people with their daily routines, getting them ready for school, prepping for meal times and planning activities.
• Create a warm, homely environment by helping with light housekeeping.
• Build strong, meaningful relationships and provide emotional support.
• Plan and join fun activities like trips to the park, popcorn and movie nights or creative projects.
• Keep essential records to ensure the best possible care.

Where You'll Do It
Our home is more than just a children's home. We're creating family environments where children can thrive. Our mission is to accommodate the needs of children within a warm, nurturing and family home setting.

The young people who reside at the home are at the heart of every decision that is made. We work in their home, their views and wishes are of the utmost importance, and we do everything in our power to ensure they are kept safe and away from harm at all times.

To support the young people and each other, we have personalised and individualised care and attention for all children in placement. We focus on emotional well-being and provide a supportive environment for growth and development. Every child deserves a place to call home.
