Types of work available

We’ve got a variety of assignments across adult and children services. 


We predominantly work in the niche market of children’s services, so I would say that 80% of our shifts are specifically working with children and young people, but we do also have clients who support adults with learning difficulties and adults with mental health issues. 


Day shifts, night shifts, weekends and overnights, we cover it all. 


In children’s services, the assignments may involve a mentor role, and other assignments could be more about providing support. 

With young adults, especially, Care and Support Workers are helping clients to live an independent life, whereas with children it’s more about leading them into independent life, teaching them life skills and showing them how they can live independently.
