No corporate waffle, no “we’re like a family” nonsense while everyone’s burning out. They want an entry‑level Children’s Support Worker who actually gives a damn. This isn’t a “sit in the office and fill in forms” job. There’s a farm on site, proper vocational activities and loads of space for children with special needs to learn, mess up, try again and grow. You’ll be one of about six support workers who actually know the kids, their bad days, their good days, and the small wins that mean everything. If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to work with kids, but I’ve never been given the chance or the training,” this is the bit where you stop talking about it and do something. You’ll be trained up as a specialist support worker, with a clear path into key worker roles. They’d rather promote the person who’s been in the trenches than parachute in someone who’s only met the kids on a tour.

Two weeks shadowing senior staff so you learn what works in real life, not just on a slideshow. Ongoing training in behaviour management, SEND, autism, teaching and learning, and children’s mental health – the stuff that makes your job doable. Proper support and mentors who’ve done the job, not career “box tickers”. Funded Level 2 and 3 Health and Social Care qualifications, because experience is great, but so is having it on paper. The home They look after children with a range of special needs and are unapologetically child‑focused. Therapy rooms, sensory rooms, big outdoor areas and regular trips out so the kids can practise life in the real world – not just in a controlled bubble.
