**About Us**: In our Supported Living service staff support young people aged 16+ towards living independently and keeping themselves safe and bettering their lives. This involves working 1 to 1 or with other staff to support young people who are vulnerable and can show challenging behaviour. ForeverCare's aim with supported living is to help these young people change their life direction to a better one and prepare them for adulthood and living independently while keeping themselves safe. We are looking for support workers to join our supported living service.

In our Residential Children's homes we offer care for vulnerable young people aged 5 and above. We currently have 3 registered children's homes with Ofsted. These young people are vulnerable and some can be challenging. It is ForeverCare's aim to improve the lives of these young people and provide care for them to keep them safe and improve the quality of their lives. Experience working in care is very important for working in our residential children's homes and having a NVQ level 3 is beneficial. In this service we are looking for Residential Child Care Officers who can supply care for the young person residing in the home.
