  • Assist in arranging trips, outings and holidays and accompanying the young people when required.
  • Support and participate in all areas of the running of the home, keeping it clean and tidy and adhering to Health and Safety requirements.

  • Long day 7.30am – 8pm

Essential Skills

Our ideal Care and Support Worker will:

  • Be able to communicate clearly with young people adapting to their individual requirements. 
  • Be committed to deliver a high level of care and support, maximising independence and enjoyment for our service users.
  • Have the motivation to use own initiative and develop activities and events for service users.

  • Be able to clearly and appropriately communicate both orally and in written form with people inside and outside the Foundation. 
  • Hold Level 2 or 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care or equivalent or be willing to attain this qualification.


Although not essential, being a driver would be beneficial too, not just because Footprints is based in a very rural location.
