At Nova Care Group
We support young people on paths that put their safety and wellbeing at risk a genuine opportunity to change direction.
The young people we support have been through a lot and show this through challenging behaviours. But for us, that’s not the full picture because behind every behaviour is a story and a chance to make a difference.
We don’t follow a one size fits all approach to care. As a Support Worker, you won’t just meet young people’s needs, you’ll become their role model, coach and mentor. You’ll be someone who leads by example, knows how to de-escalate and create a sense of safety, even in the most challenging situations.
Requirements For Our Support Workers
For us mindset and potential matters just as much as experience, that’s why we’re looking for Support Workers who are:
- Patient, resilient and emotionally aware
- Willing to learn and grow
- Committed to making a difference, even on the tough days
- Able to see beyond behaviour and understand the “why” behind it
- Fully flexible and able to work and travel across the North East
- In possession of a Full UK Driving licence and right to work in the UK (we are not able to offer sponsorship)
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Experience working with young people is helpful, but not essential as we’ll give you the tools you need to succeed in your career with us.
The Realities For Our Support Workers
This role will challenge you. Progress can be slow and some days will be tough. But seeing a young person grow, stabilise and move forward makes every challenge worthwhile.
What Makes Us Different
Nova Care Group was founded on lived experience. Real understanding of what it means to support a young person through crisis, through complexity and through the moments where others may have walked away.
