Residential Care

At Praxis Solutions, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, trauma-informed care and placement options for children and young people. Recognizing the increasing complexity of needs within the Child Protection sector, we offer a range of services focused on delivering sustainable, positive outcomes.

We work within the young person’s current environment, whether at home with family, in outreach support for those without stable placements, or in residential care. Our goal is to offer a holistic, multidisciplinary response, ensuring that each child or young person receives tailored support to thrive.

Through early intervention, assessments, and therapeutic guidance, we help families, carers, and direct staff navigate challenges, sustain placements, and, when necessary, transition to new, more suitable environments. Our commitment is to support lasting change and provide a robust framework for overcoming difficulties, while minimizing reliance on residential care and enhancing placement stability.

What is Residential Youth Work?

Residential youth work focuses on supporting young people living in care environments, often due to trauma or complex circumstances. In this role, youth workers are responsible for providing day-to-day care and guidance, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment where young people can thrive

Key responsibilities include:

  • Supporting the development and implementation of house routines, activities, and care plans for young people.
  • Maintaining a nurturing, safe, and comfortable living environment for the young people in care.
  • Managing behaviors using a trauma-informed approach and in line with care plans.
  • Encouraging young people to make positive life choices and addressing barriers that impact their well-being.
  • Providing healthy and nutritious meals based on a menu planner and shopping budget.
  • Engaging with the community and stakeholders to offer meaningful opportunities for youth participation and development.

At the heart of residential youth work is the goal of creating a supportive, structured environment where young people can heal, develop life skills, and gain the confidence to make informed decisions about their future.
