  • Residential Childcare Worker
    Residential Childcare Worker
    2 months ago
    £13.5–£16.5 hourly
    Part-time
    London

    Residential Childcare Worker (EBD experience essential) Ofsted-registered children's homes, London & Southeast SureShift is looking for experienced, reliable residential childcare workers to join our team, placed into Ofsted-regulated children's homes across London and the Southeast. This role requires genuine professional experience in a children's residential care setting, specifically supporting young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD). This means paid work in a registered children's home, secure unit, or comparable setting, where you've worked to a care plan, handled behaviour management or de-escalation, and worked as part of a shift team. It does not include babysitting, nannying, au pair work, playgroup or nursery assistant roles, or being a parent or family carer. If your experience is in one of these areas, this isn't the right role for you, but we'd encourage you to gain setting-based experience first and apply once you have it. However, we will consider if you can prove knowledge in this sector. You'll need: • At least six months' experience in a children's residential setting, with direct EBD exposure, • An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or be happy to get one sorted), • The right to work in the UK, • A current safeguarding certificate When you apply, please tell us the name of the setting(s) where you gained this experience and roughly when. This helps us move you through faster. On shift, the home's own team leads the way, your job is to support brilliantly within their care plan, not to run things. In return, you get direct PAYE employment (no umbrella companies, no self-employed risk), pay starting at £13.50/hr and rising to £16.50/hr through our transparent Points System (reliability earns you more, not just time served), emergency cover shifts at £18/hr, and a real person to call when something goes wrong, not a call centre. Shifts are flexible, days, nights and weekends, book in around your own life, with no fixed weekly hours. If you take pride in being the person a home can count on, and you've already got the EBD experience behind you, we'd love to hear from you.
