At Cambian Group, you’re not just working - you’re shaping futures. As a Senior Support Worker based within West Midlands, every moment you spend with our young people (ages 8–18) helps them feel safe, valued, and supported.

A simple "How was your day?", a shared laugh over a board game, or encouragement during a tough moment - these small interactions build trust and shape lives. Some days will be challenging, but every breakthrough, smile, and step forward will remind you why this work truly matters.

What You’ll Do

• Support young people with their daily routines; getting them ready for school, prepping for mealtimes, and planning activities.
• Create a warm, homely environment by helping with light housekeeping.
• Lead shifts and deputise for the home manager.
• Build strong, meaningful relationships and provide emotional support.
• Plan and join fun activities like trips to the park, movie nights, or creative projects.
• Keep essential records to ensure the best possible care.

Who You Are

• Warm, patient, a great listener and encourager - focused on achieving outcomes for others.
• Driver with full UK driving licence, hold a minimum of NVQ Level 3 in Residential Childcare, and have two years of experience working in a children’s residential setting.

Why Join Us?

• Exclusive discounts at major retailers (ASDA, Tesco, M&S, etc.)
• Health benefits, including dental and optical cashback after two years
• 24/7 support: Helpline and hardship grants via the CareTech Foundation
• A welcoming home: work in a comfortable and well-designed space
• Expert training: two weeks of fully funded induction
• Career growth: fully funded diplomas (Levels 3-5) and clear pathways for promotion
• Supportive team: work with people who care as much as you do
