Support Worker Children - Cwmbran

Every child deserves a advocate who sees their full potential. At Randstad, we are seeking experienced Children's Support Workers across South Wales to provide high-quality, outcome-focused support for vulnerable young people.

Rather than filling ad-hoc shifts, we specialise in Tailored Localised Care (TLC) packages. We carefully pair your unique skills, lived experience, and strengths with young people requiring consistent 1:1 residential and community support.

Delivering high-impact, trauma-informed care in residential children's homes and specialised community packages.

Guiding young people through daily life skills, educational activities, and local social pursuits (e.g., swimming, sports, and outdoor trips).

Assisting with multi-agency contact visits, family supervisions, and parent-and-baby support programmes.

Supporting children navigating complex social-emotional needs, ADHD/Autism diagnoses, CAMHS interventions, or adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).

Maintaining firm, compassionate boundaries while acting as a positive, resilient role model.

Demonstrable experience in children's residential social care, youth work, or specialised support services.

Practical understanding of trauma-informed principles and emotional de-escalation strategies.

Experience supporting young individuals presenting with complex behaviours or neurodivergent profiles (e.g., Autism, ADHD, trauma).

Unwavering empathy, resilience, and commitment to safeguarding standards.

Top Market Rates: £16.00 to £20.00 per hour, paid weekly via 100% PAYE.

Flexible Pay Control: Choose between a higher hourly rate or an accrued holiday pay pot you draw on demand.

Work Your Way: Total flexibility across shift patterns (1 to 5 shifts per week).

Funded CPD: Free access to accredited Team Teach training and Level 3 NVQ qualifications.

Referral Bonuses: Receive £300 for every qualified friend or colleague you refer.
