Do you want to play a meaningful role in a young person’s life?
At Paragon Social Care, we’re looking for caring, steady individuals to join us as Children’s Support Workers.
Who we are
Our vision is simple: Excellence Through Understanding.
We support children and young people in care around the clock, especially during times of change and uncertainty. Our goal is to provide a safe, stable place where they can feel secure and start to rebuild. We help them move forward with confidence, ready for whatever comes next.
We believe every child deserves to feel safe, respected, and hopeful, and you could be part of making that a reality.
What you’ll do
In this role, you will:
• Offer thoughtful, consistent care to young people who need it most
• Build trust and create a sense of normality in daily life
• Support learning, independence, and everyday life skills
• Prepare meals and encourage healthy habits
• Speak up for young people and make sure they are listened to
• Help them attend appointments and take part in community activities
This is work that matters. The small, everyday things you do can have a lasting impact on a young person’s future.
This role is subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check due to working with vulnerable young people. Safeguarding and promoting their welfare is a priority, and all applicants must share this commitment.
