At Cambian Group, you’re not just working - you’re shaping futures. As a Senior Support Worker based in 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 meals, 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 participate in fun activities like trips to the park, movie nights, or creative projects.
* Keep essential records to ensure the best possible care.
Where You’ll Do It
The home is in a rural setting with outdoor space for play and activities. It is furnished to a high standard, with each child's bedroom decorated in their chosen style. The young people we support have complex needs and histories of adverse childhood experiences. Each child has an individual support plan tailored to their needs.
We have an experienced senior team leading daily shifts, monthly team meetings to discuss progress and challenges, and ongoing upskilling provided by regional mental health practitioners.
Who You Are
* Warm, patient, a great listener, and an encourager—focused on achieving outcomes for others.
* Driver with a full UK driving license.
* Hold a minimum of NVQ Level 3 in Residential Childcare.
* At least two years of experience 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 via helpline and hardship grants through the CareTech Foundation
* A welcoming home environment with a well-designed space
* Fully funded induction and training
* Opportunities for career growth with funded diplomas (Levels 3-5) and promotion pathways
* Supportive team environment
