Work with us

Free daily pickup from Stockport, Hazel Grove, Marple and the surrounding region, including Cheshire.

Residential Childcare Support Workers and Level 3 practitioners, across Greater Manchester and Derbyshire. Every role is at our children’s home in the Derbyshire countryside. Credibility recruits better than gloss, so here is the honest version.

Free daily pickup

Staff transport every shift from Stockport, Hazel Grove, Marple and the surrounding region, including Cheshire, to our Derbyshire home.

£300 referral bonus

Bring someone brilliant, and we’ll say thank you properly.

Train while you work

Trainee pathways with Stockport College and local further education colleges, including the Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare.

Supervision that actually happens

Regular one to one supervision and reflective practice, because looking after children starts with looking after the adults.

Pay and shifts, straight

Pay: Competitive rates, discussed at interview.

The rota is real work: early starts, late finishes, sleep ins and weekends. We will show you an actual rota before you accept anything, and we will tell you which weeks are hard. Anyone who has done this work knows that is worth more than a glossy promise.

Evenings in the house are part of the job, and part of why it matters.

Who thrives here

People children trust. Experience helps, but it is not the gate. If you are warm, steady and not easily shocked, and you can be the same person on a bad Tuesday as a good Friday, we want to hear from you, whether you are experienced or completely new to the sector.

Safer recruitment

Everyone who works here is appointed through safer recruitment: an enhanced DBS check, full references, and a face to face conversation about values before any offer is made. There are no shortcuts into a children’s home, and there should not be.

Equal opportunities

RITE DIRECTIONS is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from everyone and judge people on the work alone, never on the nine protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
