children's support worker.

£14 - £20 per hour

Job Title: Complex Children's Support Worker

Location: Liskeard / Saltash, Cornwall

Pay: £14.00 to £20.00 per hour (Weekly Pay plus Holiday Pay)

Job Type: Flexible Temporary and Block Bookings

The Perks

  • Top Pay Rates: Premium scales from £14.00 to £20.00 per hour to reflect your specialised care expertise.
  • Introduce a Colleague: Earn a £300 Love2Shop voucher for every carer you introduce to our team with zero limits.
  • Dedicated Consultant: Direct one on one support from a local South West recruitment expert.
  • Rota Choice: Select temporary shifts or block bookings that fit your current lifestyle.
  • Crisis Enhancements: Increased pay rates available for high need placements depending on your experience.

When a young person enters a crisis placement, their immediate environment becomes highly unpredictable. They do not need a supervisor watching the clock; they require a calm, steady anchor to bring safety and routine back into their day.

We are searching for emotionally resilient care specialists to join our intensive response team across the Liskeard and Saltash areas. You will be stepping into high pressure environments, identifying the trauma behind complex behaviours, and building meaningful trust.

This position is an excellent fit for applicants who have previously worked as a Youth Worker, Support Worker, Therapeutic Support Worker, Family Support Worker, Residential Childcare Worker, or Youth Mentor.

How you will make a difference

  • Build Trust: Form strong connections with vulnerable youth using creative, trauma informed care methods.
  • Provide Safety: Utilise your professional de escalation skills to manage physical aggression or self harm with complete composure.
  • Be the Advocate: Produce highly accurate daily reports that directly influence long term therapeutic support plans.

What you will bring

  • Background: At least 6 months of paid care experience within a UK residential, youth, or complex care setting.
  • Mindset: A patient, non judgemental, and highly structured approach to managing volatile behaviours.
  • Driver: A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential to support young people with community integration.
