Promote positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing.
Follow care plans, risk assessments and safeguarding procedures.
Complete accurate daily records and reports.
Work effectively as part of a team and alongside other professionals.

What We're Looking For:

We're looking for candidates who:
Have previous experience in a similar role as a Children's Support Worker.
Are reliable, professional and able to work independently as well as part of a team.
Have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and enjoy building meaningful relationships.
Are Caring, patient and resilient.
Are able to remain calm in challenging situations.
Committed to safeguarding and promoting children's welfare.

In return, we offer weekly pay, flexible temporary shifts, ongoing support from a dedicated recruitment consultant and the opportunity to work with a variety of trusted care providers across Hampshire/Dorset/Berkshire, gaining valuable experience across different care settings.

If you're passionate about supporting children and young people and making a positive difference in their lives, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and a member of the First for Support team will be in touch to discuss your application.
