Most care roles leave you exhausted and undervalued. This one doesn't. We're looking for someone with maturity, resilience and genuine warmth to work with young adults aged 16 to 30 with complex needs - autism, learning disabilities, mental health challenges - in a spacious, homely environment where you'll actually see the impact of your work every single day
Imagine walking into work knowing that today, you might help a young person take a real step towards independence. That could be supporting them to manage their money, navigate a relationship, or simply feel safe and heard. At this home, you're not just managing behaviour or ticking boxes. You're part of a small, skilled team providing the structure and positive role modelling that helps young adults at critical life stages make informed choices about their future
The home has a Forensic Psychologist on site for clinical support, which means you're never alone with complex situations. Young people here often step down from hospital, or bridge from children's services into adult residential care - they need someone steady, calm and genuinely committed. That's where you come in. You'll work both in the home and out in the community, giving you variety and real insight into each person's life
What makes this different is the investment in you. The provider funds your Level 3 or 4 Health & Social Care qualification - or even a debt-free university degree. There are clear paths into senior roles, a salary sacrifice scheme, enhanced leave, and a team culture built on support rather than survival. This is the kind of place where you can build a real career, not just clock hours
What you will be doing
- Provide daily support and positive role modelling to young adults with complex needs, helping them build independence and life skills
- Work shifts both in the home and out in the community, supporting young people to make informed choices and achieve their personal and social goals
- Communicate clearly with colleagues and young people, staying calm and adaptable when situations are pressured or complex
- Help create and maintain a safe, structured, homely environment where young adults feel supported to thrive
Why you will love working here
- Salary of £27,999.72 - £29,428.49 per annum depending on experience, plus a salary sacrifice scheme and enhanced leave
- Fully funded professional training: Level 3 or 4 Health & Social Care qualification, or a debt-free university degree
- Clear career progression routes into senior roles, with ongoing development and wellness support
- Work in a spacious, homely environment with a skilled team and clinical psychologist on site - never managing alone
Is this you?
- Is this you: someone with maturity and resilience who genuinely values teamwork and responsibility
- Do you stay calm and adaptable under pressure, and communicate effectively with both young people and colleagues
- Are you reliable and proactive, with real passion for helping young people develop independence and life skills
- Do you have professional or personal experience supporting others - whether in care, education, youth work or even life itself
