Most care jobs feel like you're just getting through the shift. This one isn't like that. We're looking for someone who genuinely wants to build real relationships with young people, see them progress, and be part of a team that actually has your back - because we believe looking after the people who care makes all the difference
Picture your day: you're helping a young person plan their morning, then supporting them through a cooking session where they're learning real life skills. You're not just supervising - you're present, you're listening, you're the adult they can trust. In the afternoon you might take them out, chat through what's on their mind, or join in with something they're genuinely interested in. Every interaction builds the relationship that changes their trajectory
You'll work with a team that gets it. People who show up with compassion, who communicate openly, who make decisions together that actually matter for the young people in your care. There's no ego here - just real collaboration and a genuine commitment to doing this well. Training and development are built in from day one, so whether you're brand new to care or bringing experience, you'll grow into this role with proper support
This service believes in taking care of the people who care for others. That's not just words - it's backed by life insurance worth 2x your salary, 24/7 access to virtual GP appointments and mental health support, an employee wellbeing app, a structured rota with overtime opportunities, and a £500 refer-a-friend bonus when you bring someone great into the team
What you will be doing
- Support young people with daily living - helping them plan their day, prepare meals, manage appointments, and develop cooking and budgeting skills
- Build trusted, consistent relationships with the young people you support, being a calm and present figure in their lives
- Join in with hobbies and activities, from a walk and a chat to structured programmes, celebrating their progress along the way
- Work closely with your team, communicating openly and making collaborative decisions about the care and support each young person needs
- Help young people develop independence and life skills through day-to-day activities and structured learning
Why you will love working here
- Life Insurance worth 2x your salary - genuine financial peace of mind for you and your loved ones
- 24/7 access to Smart Health including virtual GP appointments, mental health support, and nutrition advice whenever you need it
- Employee wellbeing app with mental health resources and lifestyle support built in
- Structured rota with flexibility and real overtime opportunities so you can earn more when you want to
- Clear training and career development pathways, plus £500 refer-a-friend bonus when you recommend someone great

- Are you reliable and ready to show up with real purpose every day, even when things are tough?
- Are you a natural communicator who actually enjoys working as part of a team and speaking openly?
