Extraordinary Days Every Day

At Cambian, you’re not just working - you’re shaping futures. As a Residential Team Leader 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.

• 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 & movie nights or creative projects.

Our home is a solo home with 6 staff working 2-1. The team is made up of males and females and is a diverse team. Our home has a family environment and is designed to feel less institutionalised than a typical care home.

Our young person is a 14 year old male who has shared that he is happy living at this home. The team is full of long-standing staff, showing commitment to our young people. The team know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and are experienced to mentor and guide new staff members.

Warm, patient, a great listener and encourager – focused on achieving outcomes for others. Experience in residential childcare and/or level 3 qualification in residential childcare.

• Exclusive discounts at major retailers (ASDA, Tesco, M&S, etc.).
• Health benefits, including dental and optical cashback after two years.
• 24/7 support:
