Full job description

Change a Life. Shape a Future. Become a Children’s Support Worker with Paragon Social Care!

Do you want a career that actually matters? One where every shift has the power to change a young person’s life?
At Paragon Social Care, that’s not a slogan — it’s what we do every day.

We’re looking for compassionate, resilient, and motivated individuals to join our exceptional team of Children’s Support Workers. Whether you’re experienced in care or ready to step into a deeply rewarding new challenge, this is your opportunity to make a real and lasting impact.

Who We Are

Our vision is simple but powerful: “Excellence Through Understanding.”

We provide 24/7 wraparound support for children and young people in local authority care, particularly during times of uncertainty and transition. Our focus is on creating safe, nurturing, and stable environments while helping young people prepare for their next chapter.

Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and hopeful — and you can be the person who makes that happen.

✨ What You’ll Be Doing

No two days are ever the same, but you’ll be:

Providing trauma-informed, compassionate care
Building trusting relationships and positive daily routines
Supporting education, life skills, and independence
Preparing meals and encouraging healthy lifestyles
Advocating for young people and ensuring their voices are heard
Supporting medical appointments and community activities
Transporting young people using your own vehicle when required
Helping them move forward with confidence and belief in themselves

Why Paragon?

Because this isn’t “just a job.”
It’s a chance to be the steady adult, the safe space, the reason a young person believes in their future again.

If you bring the passion, we’ll give you the training, support, and opportunities to thrive.

Apply today and become the difference in a child’s story.

This role is subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check due to working with vulnerable young people. Safeguarding and promoting their welfare is a priority, and all applicants must share this commitment.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

✔ Experience working with children or young people (paid or voluntary)
✔ A full UK driving licence and access to your own car
✔ Patience, empathy, and emotional resilience
✔ Flexibility to work waking nights, weekends, and sleep-ins
✔ A clear enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)

A relevant qualification (such as NVQ Level 3 in Children’s Residential Care) is desirable but not essential — we’ll support the right people to grow.

Benefits

What You’ll Get

Excellent pay:

£17.50ph - £24.00ph PAYE Rate (including holiday pay)

£20.00ph - £28.00ph Umbrella Rate

Extensive FREE training, including:

online learning modules
In-person training in safeguarding, trauma-informed care, positive behaviour support, and more

Clear career progression — Senior Support Worker and beyond

Great perks, including:

Flexible working patterns
Casual dress code
Company pension

This role is subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check due to working with vulnerable young people.
