(Driver essential)
About The Role
Make a Real Difference. Build a Brighter Future.
Are you compassionate, patient, and driven by the desire to change a child’s life for the better? At our warm and welcoming home in Gowerton, we’re looking for individuals who want to make a meaningful impact every single day.
At Priority Childcare, we support young people who have experienced childhood trauma or struggle with their mental health. Our goal is simple: to provide a safe, stable home where children can heal, grow, and thrive.
Here’s what one of our Support Workers had to say about working here:
“I value working here because it’s such a supportive and collaborative environment. Every team member is committed to delivering excellent care. The children make this role so rewarding—their individuality and progress give real purpose to my work.”
And The Children Feel It Too
“I like living here because I can be myself. Staff support me in my good moments and my low moments—no matter what.”
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Support Worker, every day is different—but always meaningful. You’ll be:
- Supporting children’s physical, emotional and social needs in a nurturing environment.
- Being a positive role model they can look up to.
- Encouraging independence through school, social and community-based activities.
- Working as part of a strong, supportive team to deliver child-centred care.
- Keeping accurate notes on progress, behaviours and incidents.
- Assisting with daily household tasks, including cooking.
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.
Your support could be the turning point in a child’s life.
Who We’re Looking For
We want someone who is:
- Positive, resilient, and ready for a challenge.
- Compassionate, empathetic, and truly cares about children’s wellbeing.
- A clear and confident communicator.
- Able to work flexible shifts, including weekends and sleep-ins.
- Reliable, punctual and trustworthy.
- A driver with a full UK licence (essential for transporting children).
Previous care experience is helpful—but not essential. If you have the right values, we’ll train you.
What We Offer
- Blue Light Card – discounts at thousands of UK retailers.
- Refer a Friend Scheme – earn up to £1,000 per successful referral.
- Clear career progression – 97% of our managers were promoted internally.
- Fully funded qualifications to support your development.
- Health Plan after probation.
This is more than a job—it’s the chance to change lives and build a career you can be proud of.
