Become a Support Worker in Children’s Residential Care

If you are a caring, resilient and motivated individual who wants to make a difference in the lives of children and young people, this could be the role for you. You do not need previous care experience. We welcome applicants with transferable skills from retail, hospitality, customer service, education, sports coaching or community roles, as well as those with experience in residential settings, mental health, autism, learning disabilities or SEN.

At Spark of Genius, we support children and young people to grow, develop and achieve their potential in a safe and nurturing residential environment. Every conversation, shared activity and moment of encouragement helps build trust and confidence.

What You’ll Do

• As a Support Worker, you will support young people with their daily routines; getting them ready for school, preparing meals and planning activities
• Create a warm, homely environment by helping with light housekeeping
• Build positive relationships and provide emotional support
• Plan and take part in activities such as outdoor trips and creative sessions
• Keep essential records to ensure the best possible care
• Use electronic care recording systems on a daily basis to document, monitor, and update children and young people’s records accurately. Experience with Clearcare is an advantage, but not essential, as full training will be provided.

Why Join Us?

• £500 Welcome bonus
• £1000 Refer a Friend bonus
• Full time contract with paid induction
• Career development with specialist training
• Exclusive discounts at major retailers
• 24/7 support through a helpline and CareTech Foundation
