Support Worker

Salary - £ £10.59 per hour (£9,622 - £9,912 per annum)

Hours - Part Time (18 hours per week)

Location - March, Cambridgeshire

About Break:

Nobody chooses the family or circumstances they are born into. At Break we firmly believe that with the right care, there is no limit to what can be achieved.


We work across East Anglia with children and young people on the edge of care, in care and leaving care.

Whether you're interested in working in our residential homes and short breaks for children with disabilities, our pioneering Staying Close Staying Connected project or vital essentials like our family assessment centre and wraparound care offer, one thing is universal:

you'll be joining a team of passionate and dedicated individuals who want the very best for the young people they care for.


At Break we invest in the future of our staff just as we do for the young people in our services.

We strive to provide the highest quality of care, so whether you're just starting your career in children's social care or are already qualified, you'll be supported, recognised and rewarded for your essential part in our vital work.


This role will work in our Staying Close Staying Connected project, Staying Close Staying Connected, one of eight pilot models for leaving care being funded by the Department of Education.

For children in care, turning 18 can mean finding themselves on a cliff-edge of support. This service is truly leading the way nationally in terms of leaving care provision.

About the Role:


We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic individual who wants to make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged young people.


As a Break support worker you'll be working hands-on day in day out with the young people living in the children's home.


A typical day might see you supporting a young person with their school work and taking time to get to know them while you share dinner together, or meeting with other professionals involved in the young person's care.

You'll be responsible for their safety and any decisions made about the day-to-day running of the home, supported by senior transition workers, team leaders and the home's management team.

To be successful in the role you'll be patient, a good team player, and a problem solver.

In your role, you'll have access to the following benefits:

  • Free, careerenhancing qualifications
  • A "golden hello" scheme welcoming you to our services, with £250 paid to you one month after your start date and a second £250 at the six month mark.
  • A referral scheme offering the same two payments as the golden hello if you recommend a contact who goes on to be employed by Break.
  • A benefits platform enabling you to access discounts across a range of shops, venues and services.
  • A free counselling service to all our employees.
  • The opportunity to influence Break's strategy and direction through the Staff Consultation Forum.
  • Life assurance to the value of 3x your annual salary.
  • Enhanced sick pay.
  • Free flu jabs.


Full details of the role, including a job description and person specification can be found within the 'documents' section at the top of this page.


Closing date:


To comply with the Immigration Asylum & Nationality Act 2006 and additional amendments, and UKVI requirements, all prospective employees will be asked to supply evidence of eligibility to work in the UK.

We will ask to see and take a copy of an appropriate official document as set out in the UKVI guidelines.

Do not send anything now, further information will be sent to you should you be invited to interview.
