Support Worker – Residential Children’s Homes

Sequel Support is looking for a compassionate, resilient, and physically active Support Worker to join our specialist residential children’s homes.

We’re expanding our team at our two homes in Gunnislake.

At Hamilton you will primarily be supporting one boy who is currently 6'4" in height and requires support due to learning disabilities (LD), autism, and can present challenging behaviour at times. Enhanced pay rates are offered on shifts in this home.

Our other home Fernleigh house involves supporting an 12-year-old boy and we are anticipating other young people to move into the home to create a family environment.

You’ll work alongside other staff members per shift, providing consistent support and engaging in activities such as scooting, swimming, long drives, and other interests typical of teenage boys.

This is a highly rewarding role for someone who is patient, emotionally intelligent, and committed to making a positive impact.

Key Responsibilities:

Provide consistent, person-centred care in a 3:1 support setting
Build a trusting relationship with the young person
Manage and respond to complex and challenging behaviours
Promote emotional wellbeing and independence
Work 24-hour shifts including a sleeping night

Requirements:

The successful candidate will hold a full UK driving licence (held for 1 year as a minimum)
Proven experience supporting individuals with LD and autism
Confidence in managing challenging behaviour with empathy and resilience
Physically capable of supporting a tall young person with active needs

What we offer:

37.50 hours per week contract:

Basic £27,300.00 (£14 ph), Enhanced salary: £28,957.50 (£14.85 ph)
Additional sleep-in shifts available paid at £60 per night (£7,176 per annum)
Total basic pay to £34,476.00. Total Enhanced pay up to £36,133.50
Please note the enhanced pay is only for supporting one of our children and their needs which will be discussed further at interview. All other shifts and time will be paid at basic pay rate, which is currently £14.00 per hour.

We have a 3-week rolling rota including sleep-ins. Shifts are typically 7am to 7:30am with a sleeping night and you will work 1 in 3 weekends.

An example rota will look like:

Week 1 = 2 days (example Wednesday & Friday)
Week 2 = 2 days (example Tuesday & Thursday)
Week 3 = 3 days (example Monday, Saturday & Sunday)

Other benefits:

The chance to make a real difference in a young person’s life
Casual dress code
Meals provided on shift
Supportive team environment
Ongoing training and development
Opportunities for career progression
Be eligible to sign up to the Blue Light discount Card
Referral programme

Our team is driven by compassion, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by vulnerable individuals. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality support, tailored to the unique needs of each young person, and fostering strong relationships built on trust and respect.

Apply today to join a team that’s committed to providing exceptional care and support.
