Extraordinary Days Every Day

With ROC Northwest, you’re not just working - you’re shaping futures because as a Residential Support Worker every moment you spend with our young people helps them to feel safe, valued and supported.

A simple "How was your day?" or a shared laugh playing a game, being someone to listen and offer encouragement on a tough day. All these small interactions build trust, encourage communication and help to shape lives. Some days will be challenging but every breakthrough, every smile and every step forward will remind you why you truly matter in vulnerable children’s lives.

Monitoring of staff to provide development & training where required

A Little About This Home

Laceby House is a 4 bed detached house specifically adapted to accommodate up to four young people of either gender between the ages of 8 and 18. The young people here may have a range of learning, emotional, behavioural and social needs. Our young people may have also had a history of being vulnerable in relation to sexual exploitation or influenced by alcohol and/or illegal substances in their previous home lives.

The way in which Laceby is presented is conducive to providing a friendly and homely atmosphere with decoration guided by our children, which reflects that of a family home where they truly feel safe, relaxed and cared for. A home where they will receive understanding, encouragement and support from our trained and professional team. Our staff will work hard to lead the young people towards reaching their full potential and prepare them for the responsibilities of future citizenship.

We offer a safe, stable, caring and nurturing environment that brings stability to the lives of our young people, allowing them to develop confidence, independence and to equip them with the skills to make responsible choices on a brighter road ahead.

Who Are You

You need to be someone who genuinely cares and wants to make that difference. Consistency in a child’s life is essential and you will be part of that consistency. This is not a stopgap job. The children need to see you are here for them through the bigger picture. Be warm, patient, be a great listener and offer those words of encouragement our young people need to hear. Stay focused on achieving outcomes for our children and take pride in knowing you are helping to shape someone's life for the better.
