What is the best part of working at the company?
I found Paragon to be a very supportive company to work for. I never struggled for shifts and knew there was always support on the end of a phone when needed. I had a  very strong working relationship with the management team and bookings team and the company were aleays clear about their expectations. They have a fantastic Designated Safeguarding Lead who offers insight and perspective and a management sturcture that are always available. There can be great variety of work in working for Paragon from working in care homes, working on 2 and 3 to 1 support packages as well as offering families support in the family home. If you are looking to make a difference in young people's lives this is a great company to work for.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You can find yourseld in stressful situations with the young people you work with but Paragon will always support you and offer advice.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company allow you to have flexibility with your shifts and reward hard work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Your shifts and shift patterns are known up to 2 and 3 weeks in advance and you always have the option of taking more shifts.

Working for this company has been a genuinely rewarding experience. Supporting looked after children with complex and challenging behaviours is not always easy, but it is incredibly meaningful work, and I feel proud to be part of a team that makes a real difference every day.

I feel well supported in my role, both by management and by my colleagues. There is a strong culture of teamwork, and I typically enjoy working alongside other like-minded individuals who are committed, compassionate, and child-focused. Even during challenging situations, there is always someone available to offer guidance or debrief, which makes a huge difference.

The company also provides clear opportunities for progression and professional development. I feel encouraged to build my skills, take on new responsibilities, and grow within the organisation. It’s reassuring to work somewhere that recognises potential and invests in its staff.

Overall, it’s a supportive environment where the work is challenging but deeply rewarding, and where staff are valued and given opportunities to develop in their careers.

Shifts are on a rota basis and shifts are allocated weekly and fairly between staff.
Every day is different when working with young people who all have different needs but the job is very rewarding. The management are very supportive and professional. Management always make sure staff are happy and the young people’s needs are met. In each home there is a good staff team with people from various backgrounds with wealth of experience and knowledge. The most enjoyable part of the job is making a difference to the young people and making them feel safe.

The staff at Paragon Social Care really make the company. They are always on hand to help when anything comes up. They support you from the initial phone call to making you fully compliant and nothing is ever too much. They are friendly and really care about the people they employ. Could not ask for a better company to work for. 

I am currently employed by Paragon Social Care and feel well supported in the role I do. Management is excellent offering supervision as and when needed and always available on the phone if there are any issues. They are very selective in who they employ so I feel confident in my fellow support staff. 

I am a current employee at Paragon Social Care and absolutely loving it. It’s been a breath of fresh air this job, and management is very supportive.
Although I didn’t have loads of experience beforehand, I have been guided and felt trusted the whole way through.
Lovely place to work!

The pay is ok, however the management are very poor. They say they support you but their actions speak otherwise. Barely any shifts so not reliable for income and favouritism is very evident within this company. You are put in very high risk situations without the correct support. 

I have been with paragon for 10 months now and really love the company and my colleagues. The work is fast paced with lots of range and excellent work experience. 

At Paragon the staff will support you, offer great rates and excellent training. Super friendly and always happy to help whenever you might need them.
