A bit about the role

Residential Worker – Hillcrest House, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis.

Hillcrest House is a five-bedded Children’s home in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis. We provide high-quality, trauma-informed care to care-experienced children and young people, as well as short breaks for those with additional needs.

Our aim is simple: to create a safe, nurturing home where young people feel secure, valued, and able to thrive.

We are committed to supporting our staff through regular supervision, reflective practice, high quality training and ongoing professional development – because those that care for others deserve to be supported too.

How you'll help to create brighter futures

• Maintain clear, accurate records

Let's talk about you

You are caring, bringing warmth, compassion and a commitment to lifelong learning, and you’re motivated by the chance to make a real and lasting difference in young people’s lives. You understand that all behaviour is a form of communication that requires a calm, kind response and curiosity about what needs the young person is communicating.

You will have:

• A genuine interest in supporting care-experienced young people and children with disabilities
• An understanding of — or willingness to learn about — trauma-informed practice
• Experience in residential, childcare or social care settings is helpful, but we also welcome applicants with transferable skills from other people‑focused roles
• Experience supporting young people with a range of emotional or behavioural needs is helpful but full training and support is provided in our positive behaviour system
• A strong commitment to safeguarding
• Registered with the SSSC or willingness to do so within 6 months of employment
• SVQ 3 and/or HNC in Social Care (or willingness to work towards - we will fund and support you to achieve this)
• A commitment to ongoing professional development

This is rewarding work where your kindness, patience and people skills can have a lasting impact. If you’re someone who shows care, can stay calm and supportive in difficult moments and treats others with respect, you already have the foundations to thrive here. If you are ready to commit to making a lasting difference in young people’s lives, we would welcome your application.
