Looking for a job where you can genuinely make a difference — and have a laugh while you’re at it? You might just be the person we’re looking for.
At Go2, we support children and young people with disabilities to enjoy short breaks full of fun, freedom and the chance to just be themselves. It’s about creating a safe, supportive environment where they can relax, explore new activities, and feel right at home — whether that’s during the day or overnight.
We’re on the lookout for caring, down-to-earth people to join our team. If you’re calm under pressure, love a bit of variety, and want a job that’s as rewarding as it is busy, this could be the one.
Here’s a bit of what you’ll be doing:
* Supporting children with personal care, health needs and routines — always with kindness and respect
* Helping plan and take part in activities that bring joy (yes, even if it means getting glitter in your hair or soaked on a water day!)
* Being someone the children can trust when things feel overwhelming
* Working alongside families, carers and colleagues to keep things consistent and child-centred
* Jotting down how things have gone so we can keep care plans up to date
* Pitching in with the team — we’re all in this together
What we’d love you to bring:
* A genuine interest in supporting children and young people with additional needs
* A calm, positive attitude and the ability to think on your feet
* Ideally, an SVQ3 in Social Services (Children & Young People) and HNC — or a willingness to work towards them
* Respect for our Christian ethos and a willingness to work within it
* PVG and SSSC registration (we’ll help with this if needed)
What you’ll get from us:
* A friendly, experienced team who’ll support you every step of the way
* Regular supervision and chances to develop your skills
* A role that’s meaningful, varied and full of “this is why I do this” moments
If this sounds like your sort of role, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and come help us make a difference at Go2.
We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.
Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.
But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
