Are you looking for a role where every day brings something new, meaningful and rewarding? Join the Blue Elephant Herd as a Senior Support Worker in one of our children’s residential homes and help shape brighter futures for the young people in our care.

We’re seeking compassionate, enthusiastic and inspiring individuals to join our North Devon homes. Our homes are based in the Barnstaple, Bideford and Torrington areas. You’ll bring energy, positivity and a genuine passion for helping children thrive. The right candidate will be engaging, nurturing and able to create a fun, safe and empowering environment where younger children feel supported and encouraged to grow.

To apply, you must have a minimum of one year’s experience working as a Residential Support Worker in a children’s home. However, we strongly favour applicants with more substantial experience or those already operating at a senior level, demonstrating leadership, initiative and confidence in supporting both children and colleagues.

Senior Support Workers are typically qualified, so holding a Level 3 qualification in Residential Childcare (or an equivalent qualification) is highly preferred.

Benefits that Blue Elephant offer:

• Annual Bonus
• Christmas Hamper
• Annual ‘Thank You’ party for you and your family
• Life assurance
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Health & Wellbeing benefit scheme from start date
• Blue Light card (cost covered)
