Are you passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of children and young people? Do you have the compassion, resilience, and commitment needed to support vulnerable young people to achieve their full potential?
We are looking for enthusiastic and dedicated Children’s Home Support Workers to join our residential care team. You will play a vital role in providing high-quality care and support to children and young people with diagnosed learning disabilities, helping them develop independence, confidence, life skills, and positive relationships.
Every day brings new opportunities to support, encourage, and empower young people to reach their goals. If you want a rewarding career where no two days are the same, we would love to hear from you.

As a Children's Home Support Worker, you will:
✅ Provide day-to-day care, support, and supervision to children and young people.

✅ Encourage participation in social, recreational, and community activities.
✅ Build positive, trusting, and professional relationships.
✅ Maintain accurate records and contribute to care planning.
✅ Create a safe, nurturing, and therapeutic home environment where young people feel valued and supported.

- Patient, resilient, and able to remain calm under pressure.
- Reliable and committed to delivering high standards of care.
- Flexible and able to work a varied rota, including weekends and school holidays.
