Full Job Description

Our four-bed residential home for children, aged 5 17 years, is registered with OFSTED and offers services to young people who have learning disabilities, challenging behavior and complex needs.

The service offers each child their own bedroom and a range of communal living spaces including a large garden room which provides recreational facilities for them to create their own activities. This area is designed to encourage creative and sometimes messy projects.

We also have an amazing sensory/calming room with lights, sounds and textures which are used together to create a stimulating, or calming environment. This area can be used to support individuals with planned activities or just to relax.,

  • You will support the Registered Manager in the running of the home, particularly in their absence.

  • You will lead shifts and support your team members to provide practical assistance and emotional support to empower our young people to achieve their goals and aspirations. This will involve respecting everyones individuality and enabling them to make appropriate choices to live the life they wish, in line with their individual support plans, you will need to be able to complete a range of records and documents

  • In addition you will assist the Registered Manager with reviewing budgets, staff rotas, complaints and relationship building with external regulatory bodies.

    For children with complex medical needs and sensory impairment to thrive, they need sensory stimulation and encouragement to achieve this. At Courtyard Care, we believe children and young people with complex mental health histories require nurturing and therapy in equal parts.


  • Our aim is to provide outcome-based support in a safe, welcoming, homely and stimulating environment for children and young people with complex and additional needs. We believe that the environment is crucial in enabling stability and security for all the children and young people during their stay with us.

    We provide this high level of care and accommodation at Courtyard Care, by ensuring that all services and accommodation matches, as near as possible, that of a normal domestic home, whilst considering the needs of each child/young person.

    We also aim to assist children/young people to lead fulfilling and enriched lives, by enabling them to take part in a variety of social activities. Ensuring each child can follow their preferred social activities with the support of our dedicated and professional residential teams.
