About The Role
Looking for a role that fits around your life while making a genuine difference to children and young people?
As a Children's Support Worker – Flexible Hours, you'll join Compass Community on a zero hours contract, giving you the flexibility to choose shifts that work for you while supporting our children's homes and specialist schools.

Whether you're looking for additional hours alongside another role, returning to work, studying, or simply want greater flexibility, this is an opportunity to be part of a team that changes lives.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll work across our Residential and Education services, helping wherever support is needed.
Your Role May Include
- Building positive, trusting relationships with children and young people.
- Supporting emotional wellbeing, confidence and independence.
- Encouraging participation in education, activities and daily routines.
