Our mission is to stand beside young people aged 11–17 during some of the most challenging times of their lives. When emotions run high and mental health takes a hit, no one should face it alone. With compassion, respect, and a youth-centered approach, we provide real support that makes a real difference.
We’re on the lookout for a caring, calm, and confident Crisis Support Worker to join our specialist team. This is a unique opportunity to support a young person on a long-term basis as part of a dedicated, around-the-clock solo care package.
Supporting Daily Living – Help create a sense of structure, stability, and fun through daily routines, meaningful activities, and days out that nurture wellbeing and independence.
Providing Therapeutic Support – Use grounding techniques and emotional regulation strategies to help build resilience and self-awareness, always prioritising the young person’s safety and emotional needs.
Keeping Accurate Records – Log incidents, interventions, and communications clearly and sensitively, in line with safeguarding and legal standards.
Learning and Reflecting – Take part in supervision, training, and reflective practice to build your skills, protect your wellbeing, and continue growing professionally.
Helping with Transport – Make sure the young person gets to appointments, education, and social activities safely and reliably.
Working Together – Collaborate with key professionals such as CAMHS, social workers, and emergency services to ensure consistent, joined-up care.
Do you have experience supporting young people through crisis or complex mental health challenges?
Can you stay calm under pressure and communicate with clarity and care?
Do you believe that every young person deserves to feel seen, safe, and supported?
Can you work flexibly—across evenings, weekends, and at short notice?
Do you have a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle?
If you're also bringing experience in secure services, mental health, youth work, psychology, or social care—amazing. But more than anything, we’re looking for people who show up, care deeply, and make a difference.
A welcoming, inclusive, and trauma-informed work culture
Competitive hourly rates and clear pathways for progression
Ongoing training and professional development
Referral bonus – if you know someone else who’s got what it takes, we’ll thank you for spreading the word
