Each offer of work you take up is entirely at your discretionWe employ people not paper! Some of our best candidates bring a variety of transferable skills and valuable life experiences to their roles, making them excellent recruits for our team. Their knowledge of appropriate boundaries and innate ability to make connections with young people are the ideal foundation for our thorough training on the more technical aspects of our work. We achieve consistently successful outcomes with young people because we employ a diverse workforce that can empathise with the cultures they come from and the issues they face. People who have learned important lessons from the school of life often have the greatest impact on vulnerable children and young people who have already experienced significant challenges and trauma. Key aspects of children's residential care work:Ensuring each young person is safe and cared for effectively, addressing care, education, social, emotional, cultural, therapeutic and health needs.Exercising appropriate control over children and young people at all timesWorking in partnership with parents, families, carers, and other professionals to advocate for, safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people.Covering various shifts including early mornings, late evenings, and sleep-ins, on weekdays, weekends, and Bank Holidays, within the Homes and on residential trips.Promoting an organisational culture which values every team member’s contribution and is intolerant of discrimination in any form.Maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality. Arnfield Care:Established in 1997 and based in the High Peak area of Derbyshire, Arnfield Care Ltd is an outstanding, small, and proudly independent provider of high-quality therapeutic residential care and on-site education for children and young people. We support young people, aged 11–17, to deal with trauma resulting from a wide range of complex social, emotional and behavioural challenges in their formative years, helping them to rebuild trust, develop independence, and move forward with confidence.We pride ourselves on being nurturing and supportive, and our approach is grounded in building warm, consistent, respectful and structured relationships tailored to individual needs, whether a young person is with us for a relatively short period of intensive crisis intervention work or here on a longer-term placement as they transition towards semi-independence.As well as our therapists and carers, our teachers and outdoor educators help us to regulate behaviour, bolster emotional well-being and transform the self-belief of our looked-after children by making individualised learning, in a safe and supportive environment, and outdoor adventures, designed to encourage fun and personal growth, a key part of the Arnfield experience. That’s how we achieve consistently successful outcomes with young people and why we are recognised by Ofsted as an exemplar to others.If you think you’ve got what it takes, please register your interest now by sending us an up-to-date CV and covering letter.
