Are you an experienced children's support worker looking for additional/ad hoc work around your permanent role or maybe full time but wanting flexible work? Then look no further!

Your role will aid in delivering support to children and young people through meeting their emotional, social, physical, and intellectual needs within their residential homes and in the community. These individuals will be provided with a personal plan that will enable you to support the young people to have positive experiences while still integrating their boundaries and routine. You will need to be prepared to work 1:1 with those you're supporting, however, often you will be supported on a 2:1 basis with other staff members.
