Residential childcare is not just a job – something you clock in and out of and leave behind at the door. It’s a vocation – a deeply human, emotional and demanding role that asks those who choose it to show up, every single day, and give of themselves for the sake of vulnerable young people who may never have known stability, trust or unconditional care. Making that commitment is hard for anyone, but it is harder still without a guide. An Essential Guide for Every Residential Childcare Worker aims to be that guide. It is ideal for both new and experienced residential childcare workers, support staff and care home managers.
The book gives a unique and inspiring account of walking beside vulnerable young people through pain, laughter and growth, drawing on years of experience from a frontline worker - Jane Dalgleish who worked in residential childcare for more than twenty-five years.
