Job Description

At Paragon Social Care, we're dedicated to supporting vulnerable children and young people under the care of local councils. We provide 24/7 support during transitional periods between placements until a suitable long-term arrangement is found.

We operate across the UK and seek flexible support workers willing to work in various locations for short periods. This role suits those with no major commitments at home.

Experience with challenging youth is welcome but not essential; comprehensive training is provided. Key qualities include understanding, patience, professionalism, dedication, and adaptability.

We offer competitive weekly pay. Responsibilities include ensuring safety and emotional well-being, assisting with personal care, organizing activities, attending appointments, cooking, maintaining a tidy environment, and participating in staff meetings.

Safeguarding children is our priority. We adhere to Trauma-Informed and Positive Behaviour Support frameworks to create a safe and nurturing environment.

If you are highly flexible, have a clear DBS, possess a full UK Right To Work, and hold a full UK driving licence, we encourage you to apply. Please note applications without a UK driving licence will not be considered.
