About the Role

Carter Care Solutions is expanding our team of Relief Support Workers to support children and young people living in residential homes in Northampton and Bedford. We are looking for warm, patient and emotionally mature people who understand that supporting children is more than just a job.

We are a supportive company that values our staff as much as the Children and Young People we care for. You will be listened to, encouraged and supported by approachable management who genuinely care about children and young people and want staff to feel confident in providing the best possible support. When you feel supported, confident and valued, children feel that difference every day.

You will work flexibly as self employed, earn £16.00–£18.00 per hour, and have access to a bonus scheme linked to hours worked. We provide full training, ongoing development and reflective debriefs after challenging shifts with qualified social work management.

What Makes Us Different

We aim to match you with homes in your local area based on:

Your strengths

Your experience
The individual needs of the children

This helps you build real relationships and provide consistent, child-centred support.

What You’ll Be Doing

Supporting children and young people in line with their individual care plans
Helping create a stable, respectful and nurturing environment
Building trust through calm communication and clear boundaries
Supporting daily routines, education, activities and community involvement
Encouraging emotional regulation, confidence and independence
Responding to behaviours using a trauma‑informed, de‑escalation approach
Keeping accurate records to support safeguarding and continuity of care
Working collaboratively with residential staff teams and sharing handovers

What We’re Looking For

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

Child‑focused, compassionate and kind
Patient and emotionally intelligent
Adaptable and able to think clearly under pressure
A strong communicator
Reliable, consistent and committed to safeguarding
Experience working with Children and Young People
You live in Northamptonshire or Bedfordshire

This Role May Not Suit You If You:

Need predictable or guaranteed hours
Find it difficult to manage challenging emotions or behaviours
Struggle with timekeeping or reliability
Have not previous worked with Children and Young People

Benefits

Flexible schedule
Casual dress
Ongoing Training
On‑site parking
Supportive management
Work in your local area

Carter Care Solution prides itself on consistent, calm and child focused support to Children and Young People. We are now expanding our service across Northampton and Bedford to meet growing demand.

Pay: £16.00-£18.00 per hour

Benefits:

Casual dress
Free parking
