YMCA Robin Hood Group is a not-for-profit charity that runs Residential Care Homes for children aged 5-18 years old. We run 5 homes across Nottingham, Newark, Selby and Goole.

We are ready to welcome new children into our homes and are therefore looking for Night-Time Residential Care Workers to join our overnight team to provide the vital care and support they deserve.

Our 4 bed Selby home is based in YO8 and has parking available - due to the specific location of the home, you would need to drive to the home as you cannot get there by public transport.

• Work as part of a team to ensure the children are looked after 24/7.

• Provide therapeutic care to help them navigate past trauma.

How we’ll support you:

• A full training plan for your first 6 months.
• Support to complete a fully funded level 4 qualification in Residential Childcare.
• Monthly Supervision and ongoing support from the Management Team.
• Career pathway to promotion.

What You’ll Need:

• Resilience – You won’t give up on a child, even on their toughest days
• Calm and consistent manner – You’ll use our training to understand and respond to challenging behaviours
• Compassion – You’ll listen, show up, and help children build trust and secure attachments
• Confidence – You’ll handle challenges, advocate for children, and be their voice
• Flexibility – You’ll work a rota of long days, evenings, sleep-ins, and weekends – we plan ahead but value your support when things change
• A driving license – A full UK licence is essential to get to our home.
• An enhanced DBS with child barred list check – if you aren’t on the update service, we will get you a new DBS.
