Overview
As a Senior Support Worker you will support young people with their daily routines; getting them ready for school, prepping for meal times and planning activities. We have an experienced senior team who lead and guide the shift each day. We have monthly team meetings to discuss how we are meeting the needs and challenges of each child and supporting each other to manage behaviours and ensure each child makes appropriate progress. Supervision at least monthly and we have upskilling delivered by the regional mental health practitioner each month to develop the teams knowledge and skills.
At Cambian Group, you're not just working – you're shaping futures. As a Senior Support Worker based within 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, every smile and every step forward will remind you why this work truly matters.
