About Us
Support at Home is an established and highly regarded care provider delivering high-quality support to adults, children, young people and families across the Northwest. We are passionate about providing person-centered care that enables people to live fulfilling and independent lives.
As our Children and Young People’s Services continue to grow, we are looking for an ambitious, motivated and experienced individual to help develop this exciting area of the business.
During the initial development of the Children's Services division, the post holder will undertake direct support work as required. As the service grows, the proportion of direct care responsibilities will reduce, with increasing emphasis on leadership, service development, quality assurance and staff management.
The Role
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about improving outcomes for children and young people and wants to play a key role in developing a growing service.
Initially, the successful candidate will support the delivery of care packages, complete assessments, assist with recruitment and training, and help establish the foundations of our Children’s Services provision in Warrington. As the service grows, you will take increasing responsibility for supervising staff, managing packages of care and supporting the strategic development of the service.
