Our commitment to you

• Fair Pay, Time Off and Real-Life Support

  We offer competitive pay for childcare and residential care roles, with opportunities to earn more through overtime, extra shifts and progression. Your pay reflects the role's responsibilities, and we’re open and honest about rates from the start (check out current opportunities for accurate pay details).

  You’ll get paid annual leave, with extra days added as you stay with us longer. We also offer company sick pay for unexpected illness, as well as compassionate and bereavement leave when life throws difficult moments your way.

  From your first day, you and any adults (16+) in your household can use our 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme. That means free, confidential support for things like stress, money worries, family issues or just needing someone to talk to - available by phone, in-person, online or app, anytime.

  After six months, eligible staff can join our Health Cash Plan, helping you claim money back on everyday things like glasses, prescriptions, sports massage and hospital stays.

• Friendly Teams and a Supportive Working Environment

  Working in care can be challenging, so having the right team around you really matters. At Homes for Support, you’ll be part of a friendly, supportive team where people look out for each other and managers are easy to talk to.

  You’ll receive regular support and supervision, clear guidance in your role, and the opportunity to build confidence at your own pace. We believe work should feel positive and rewarding, so we also run monthly rewards draws, team activities and charity fundraising events that bring people together and make work more enjoyable.

  This is a workplace where you’re treated with respect, your well-being matters and your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.

• No Experience? We’ll Train You and Help You Progress

  You don’t need childcare qualifications to apply. If you’re new to care, we’ll provide full training, a proper induction, and ongoing support to help you succeed.

  We also fully fund qualifications such as the Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare and the Level 5 Leadership and Development (where required), and we support staff to move into senior, specialist, and management roles over time. Many of our managers began their careers in entry-level care roles with us.

  If you stay with us long-term, we thank you with loyalty gifts, milestone celebrations, and extra annual leave after five years. We want Homes for Support to be a place where you can build a career, not just work a job.
