Most care jobs feel like you're just going through the motions, with little support and even less room to grow. But this isn't most care jobs. This home is built on genuine commitment to both the young people they support and the people who care for them, which means your wellbeing matters as much as theirs

Picture yourself arriving at the home knowing exactly what your shift looks like, with the flexibility to pick up extra hours if you want them. You're part of a team that actually communicates, where decisions get made together and you're trusted to make them. There's no hierarchy of who matters most - the young people, the staff, the relationships - they're all woven together

Your mornings might start by helping someone plan their day or prepare breakfast. By afternoon you could be teaching life skills like cooking or budgeting, joining in with hobbies, going for a walk and a genuine chat. These aren't tasks to tick off - they're moments where you build real trust and see real progress. Every day is different because every person is different

What makes this place stand out is the culture. They're not just saying the right things about diversity, inclusion and support - they're building it into how they actually work. You get full training from day one, whether you're brand new to care or bringing years of experience. There's a clear path to develop your skills and progress, and a team around you who show up with purpose every single day

What you will be doing

  • Support young people with daily living - breakfast, planning their day, preparing meals together, managing appointments
  • Help develop life skills through practical activities like cooking, budgeting, and household management
  • Build genuine relationships by spending time together, enjoying hobbies, going out, and being a trusted presence
  • Work collaboratively with your team to make decisions that matter and communicate openly about what's working
  • Celebrate progress and milestones with the young people you support, no matter how small they seem

Why you will love working here

  • Life insurance worth 2x your salary, so you and your loved ones are genuinely protected
  • 24/7 access to virtual GP appointments, mental health support and nutrition advice whenever you need it
  • A structured, reliable rota with real flexibility to take on overtime when it suits you
  • Full training and clear progression pathways so you can grow your skills and your career
  • £500 refer-a-friend bonus when you bring someone brilliant into the team, plus recognition schemes that actually celebrate what you do

Is this you?

  • You're kind and patient - you actually enjoy helping people, not just saying you do
  • You show up reliably and ready to do the work with real purpose every day
  • You communicate well and genuinely enjoy working as part of a team
  • You're open to learning and development - experience is great, but the right attitude is what matters most
  • You're willing to build real relationships and celebrate the small wins that make a difference
