Residential

Introduction to Residential

Residential care provides a vital role in society, supporting adults, children or young people from a range of background and with various different needs with day-to-day tasks, providing a homely living environment and activities.  

Roles can include working in a children’s residential home to look after children and young people who are unable to live with their families, supporting adults with personal care in a residential home to supporting a person with learning disabilities in shared living accommodation.
