Residential social workers, also known as support workers or care officers, provide support to vulnerable residents of care homes, children’s homes, hostels, adult and youth centres. They use counselling, teaching, therapeutic and physical care skills to encourage residents to become as independent as possible.
As a residential social worker, you would usually specialise and support either children and young people, or adults.
The main areas of responsibility when working with children and young people include:
acting as a positive role model
assessing the needs of each child
establishing guidelines for behaviour
giving social, spiritual and emotional support
creating a safe and happy environment in which to live
providing leisure, sporting and creative opportunities
giving advice on independent living to those who are about to leave care
recruiting, training and supporting foster careers and volunteers.
