About the Role

This is much more than a care job.

It's about helping children and young people build confidence, develop independence, and achieve their full potential.

No Two Days Are The Same

One day you could be helping with homework and preparing dinner together. The next, you could be supporting a day out, attending sporting activities, visiting the cinema, enjoying outdoor adventures, or helping young people experience holidays and trips that create lasting memories.

These experiences are not simply enjoyable activities; they play a vital role in helping young people develop social skills, confidence, independence, and positive life experiences.

The Difference You'll Make

Many of the young people you'll support have experienced significant challenges in their lives.

The support, guidance, and encouragement you provide can have a lasting impact on their future. Whether it's helping them learn a new skill, achieve a personal goal, succeed in education, or prepare for adulthood, you'll play an important role in helping them realise their potential.
