Children's Residential Team Leader Everything you do matters From the moment you open the door and enter one of our services you become something more than you once were. You enter the place our young people call home, a place where a grin can make a young person's day, where listening can not only save but shape a life, a place whereby simply turning up on time and being present has a bigger impact than it does anywhere else. Walking through the door at Cambian means having a direct impact on the futures of the young people in our care.

Our aim is to create the best possible outcomes for them to allow every single one of them to reach their full potential.

Your day involves making sure they are up and ready for the day, this could mean ready for school or ready for a morning at the park, it means ensuring the service feels like "home" - running the hoover around, helping with homework or preparing dinner. Evenings and weekends are usually for fun, whether that's playing videogames, a board game, or a trip to see a movie. Yes! there is paperwork and planning but supporting our young people is never boring. The days may be long but time fly's and the work really matters.
