About the Role
As a Support Worker in our existing homes, you’ll be part of a supportive team responsible for maintaining structure, safety, and therapeutic care as we transition to new placements.
You will:

This is a great opportunity for someone seeking flexibility, variety, and the chance to build strong experience across multiple care settings.

• Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or enrolled within 6 months)
• Trauma-informed and emotionally resilient approach
• Understanding of safeguarding, risk management, and working with complex behaviours
