Job description

🌟 Are you keen on making a difference in the lives of Young people?

At Paragon Social Care, we’re looking for compassionate and resilient Children’s Support Workers to join our team.

Who We Are

Our vision is simple but powerful: “Excellence Through Understanding.”

We provide 24/7 wraparound support for children and young people in local authority care, particularly during times of uncertainty and transition. Our focus is on creating safe, nurturing, and stableenvironments while helping young people prepare for their next chapter.

We believe that every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and hopeful, and you can be the person who makes that happen.

Description

In this rewarding role, you will:

  • Provide trauma-informed, compassionate care
  • Build trusting relationships and create positive daily routines
  • Support education, life skills, and independence
  • Prepare meals and promote healthy lifestyles
  • Advocate for young people and ensure their voices are heard
  • Support medical appointments and community activities
  • Transport young people using your own vehicle when required
  • Encourage confidence, resilience, and belief in their future

Every action you take helps shape brighter futures.

✔ Experience working with children or young people (paid or voluntary)
✔ A full UK driving licence and access to your own car
✔ Patience, empathy, and emotional resilience
✔ Flexibility to work waking nights, weekends, and sleep-ins
✔ A clear enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)

A relevant qualification (such as NVQ Level 3 in Children’s Residential Care) is desirable but not essential — we’ll support the right people to grow.

Excellent pay

  • £17.50ph - £24.00ph PAYE Rate (including holiday pay)
  • £20.00ph - £28.00ph Umbrella Rate

  • Flexible working patterns
  • Casual dress code
  • Company pension
  • Referral bonuses
