Do you have a passion for supporting children and young people to reach their full potential?

We are looking for compassionate, resilient, and dedicated Support Workers to join our team in a children's residential home in Hampshire. You'll be supporting children and young people with complex needs, which may include:

  • Social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD)

  • Promote independence, choice, and inclusion

  • Support with daily routines, education, and recreational activities

  • Build trusting relationships through consistency, patience, and empathy

  • Work closely with therapists, social workers, and other professionals

What we're looking for:

  • Experience in care, education, or support work (preferred but not essential)

  • A calm, proactive, and non-judgmental approach

  • Flexibility to work shifts, including evenings, weekends, and sleep-ins

  • A genuine desire to make a difference in children's lives

  • Full UK driving licence (desirable)

In return, we offer:

  • A welcoming, supportive team environment

  • Ongoing training and career development opportunities

  • Enhanced rates for sleep-ins, weekends, and overtime

  • Access to wellbeing support and employee assistance programs

  • Opportunity to work in a role that truly changes lives

If you're ready to be part of something meaningful and make a positive impact on the lives of young people, we want to hear from you!
