About us

We’re excited to announce the opening of three new residential homes across the Wrexham area—and we’re looking for passionate individuals to join our growing team.

The Role

Residential Workers play a vital role in creating a safe, fun, nurturing, and supportive environment for children and young people living in our homes. They provide day-to-day care, emotional & physical support, and guidance, helping each child to develop life skills, build confidence, and achieve their goals. Working as part of a dedicated team, Residential Workers ensure that safeguarding and well-being are at the heart of everything they do, while promoting independence and inclusion. This role requires compassion, resilience, and a commitment to making a real difference in the lives of children and young people.

• Experience working with children or young people in a care setting (preferred but not essential).
• A resilient, fun and patient approach.
• Ability to work shifts, including evenings, weekends, and sleep-ins.
• Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
• Be present and remain committed, even when times get tough.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive training and development opportunities.
• Supportive team environment.
• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Opportunities for career progression
