The Role

Your role as a support worker will be vital to the development and well-being of the children in our care. You will have the opportunity to really make a positive difference to their lives.

Part of the job will be helping and supporting them to achieve positive outcomes and make great life choices.

You will be a positive role model to support them on their journey, work with them to support them with their goals and document how their lives are developing so we can provide the right support at the right time as a team.

This is a great opportunity to build strong and positive relationships with brilliant professionals and families. You will find yourself getting stuck into fun, enrichment activities, outdoor educational trips, as well as interactive and practical hands-on activities.

Our team members are passionate, dedicated, motivated and are committed in offering a safe and supportive environment to work colleagues and more importantly to each of the young people we support. You will occasionally need to demonstrate resilience as often the people we work with can exhibit challenging behaviours so require a calming influence.

Please note that our client does not offer sponsorship or employ staff with any time restrictions on their visa. This is due to the specific needs of the service users, requiring full-time staff availability.

If you are a dedicated and caring individual with the necessary experience and qualifications, we would love to hear from you. Please apply with your updated CV and a cover letter outlining your suitability for the role.

Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. Thank you for your understanding.
