Job Description

We are offering flexible working and weekly pay for Waking Nights for experienced Support Workers within the rural surrounds of Burton!

If you are looking for a role where no two days are the same this role involves working with young people aged 16 and over, helping them develop essential life skills to prepare for independent living by the age of 18.

Due to many of the service users having experienced trauma in their past, we are looking for calm, patient, and empathetic individuals who can provide consistent support and encouragement.
