Children's Residential Care Staffing Built Around Your Service

Providing safe, stable and supportive environments for children and young people in residential care requires the right people - every time. At Pin Point, we understand the demands of running a children's residential home, and we work hard to make staffing one less thing to worry about.

We provide experienced, compassionate staffing solutions for a wide range of children's residential and supported accommodation settings across the UK - helping services fill shifts, manage shortages and maintain the consistent, safe care that young people deserve.

Safeguarding at every step

Safeguarding is not an afterthought - it is embedded in everything we do. All staff placed in children's residential settings go through our full compliance and safeguarding process before starting any placement.

  • Enhanced DBS checks - all staff, no exceptions
  • Minimum two professional references - thoroughly verified
  • Right to work in the UK confirmed
  • Safeguarding training - updated regularly
  • Minimum six months' UK children's residential care experience

We never compromise on safeguarding. Not to fill a shift faster, not for any reason.

In-house training

Our in-house trainer Leanne Kirkup delivers practical, classroom-based training for our children's residential workforce. Training is reviewed regularly in line with OFSTED requirements and current legislation, and is provided at no cost to Pin Point candidates.

Training relevant to children's residential care includes:

  • Safeguarding children - Level 3

  • PRICE and Team Teach - physical intervention
