Children’s Support Worker - Complex Needs

£13.46 - £13.66 per hour
Part-time

Children’s Support Worker – Complex Needs
Location: Penzance / Camborne / Carbis Bay
Supporting families across Mid & West Cornwall
Expert training | Flexible working patterns | Evenings, weekends and school holidays

Bluebird Care – Where you change lives
We’re looking for kind, calm and dedicated Children’s Support Workers to join our Care Expert Team across Mid & West Cornwall.

At Bluebird Care Mid & West Cornwall, we support children with complex needs to feel safe, understood and cared for — at home and out in their community. This support also gives families reassurance, consistency and peace of mind.

You’ll provide one-to-one support with daily routines, personal care, communication, confidence and community activities.

This is a meaningful role for someone who wants to make a real difference to children and families.

Before applying, please note:
You must have the right to work in the UK, a full UK driving licence and access to a reliable car.

We are unable to offer visa sponsorship. If you require sponsorship to work in the UK, your application will not be successful.

Responsibilities
As a Children’s Support Worker, your key responsibilities will include:

Supporting children with complex or additional needs
Helping with personal care, daily routines and mealtimes
Supporting communication, confidence and independence
Attending community outings and social activities
Following care plans and keeping clear records
Working closely with families and the wider care team
Being a calm, dependable and reassuring presence
Full training will be provided so you feel confident and supported in the care you deliver.

Hours
This role mainly involves evening and weekend support.

During school holidays and half terms, children are often at home more, so support hours may increase. We’ll always talk this through with you in advance and plan rotas around availability wherever possible.

Benefits
Paid specialist induction training
Ongoing expert training and development
Flexible working patterns, where possible
Regular support from a local office team who know you by name
Blue Light Card access to nationwide discounts
Mental health and wellbeing support
Car hire assistance, if needed
Friendly, inclusive team with ongoing support
A meaningful role where you can make a real difference
A workplace where you’re valued, supported and never just a number
Requirements
For this role, you’ll need:

Experience working with children in care, education, health or support settings
Confidence supporting with personal care
A full UK driving licence and access to a reliable car
The right to work in the UK
You’ll be a good fit if you’re kind, patient and calm, with a child-focused approach and a willingness to learn.

Experience supporting children with complex or additional needs is helpful, but not essential — full training will be provided.

If you care deeply, Bluebird Care makes sure you have the training, time and support you need to do what you do best.

Apply today, or contact Bluebird Care Mid & West Cornwall to find out more.

Bluebird Care Mid & West Cornwall is an Equal Opportunity Employer. DBS checking and references will be undertaken in line with government regulations and recruitment best practice.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if a suitable candidate is found.

It’s good to be home.
