Support Worker

About The Company
Nestled in the peaceful countryside, East Farm is a four-bed children’s home where high-quality care meets a calm, therapeutic environment. Here, every young person is supported through a trauma-informed, family-style approach — a place where patience, understanding, and consistency help children grow, heal, and thrive. 
We believe that every young person has the potential for positive change. Through trust, empathy, and strong relationships, we empower children to build confidence, make safe choices, and achieve their dreams. At East Farm, every team member plays a vital role in helping young people develop emotional resilience, independence, and a true sense of belonging.
