Make a Difference – Become a Children's Support Worker with Paragon Social Care
Ready to create real change?
At Paragon Social Care, that's exactly what you'll be doing. We're seeking compassionate, resilient, and dedicated individuals to join our wonderful team of Children's Support Workers — people who are ready to support young lives as they grow, heal, and flourish.
Whether you already have experience in care or you're looking for a meaningful new direction, this is your chance to make a long-lasting difference to children and young people who need safety, stability, and hope.
Who We Are
At Paragon Social Care, our vision is simple: "Excellence Through Understanding."
We deliver 24/7 wraparound support for children and young people in local authority care during periods of uncertainty and transition. Our mission is to provide environments that are safe, caring, and empowering, while helping every young person work towards a brighter future.
Every child deserves compassion, opportunity, and someone who believes in them — and that person could be you.
What You'll Do
No day looks the same As a Children's Support Worker, you will:
• Offer trauma-informed care to ensure young people are safe and supported
• Build strong, positive, and trusting relationships
• Promote healthy routines and essential life skills
• Support education, prepare meals, and accompany children to appointments
• Advocate for their voice — ensuring they feel heard and valued
• Transport young people to activities or appointments using your own car
• Help them move forward with hope and confidence
What We're Looking For
Experience working with children or young people (paid or voluntary)
A full UK driving licence and access to a car
Patience, empathy, and emotional resilience
Flexibility to work varied shifts (including weekends, sleep-ins, and waking nights)
A clear enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)
A relevant qualification (such as NVQ Level 3 in Children's Residential Care or equivalent) is preferred but not essential — full training is provided.
What You'll Receive
Competitive pay: £17.50 – £28.00 per hour (depending on shift type)
Extensive training: 21 online modules plus in-person courses in safeguarding, trauma-informed practice, positive behaviour support, and PACE training
Career progression: Clear pathways to Senior Support Worker and beyond
Excellent benefits:
• Flexible scheduling
• Casual dress code
• Company pension
• Referral bonuses
Why Paragon?
Because this is more than employment — it's a purpose. Every shift gives you the chance to reshape a story and bring stability, hope, and possibility into a child's world.
If you bring the passion, we'll provide the training, support, and opportunities to make a genuine difference.
Apply today and take the first step toward a career that matters.
This role requires an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check due to working with vulnerable young people. Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people is essential, and all applicants must be committed to this responsibility.
