Work With Purpose. Grow With Support.

Make a Real Difference. Build a Career with Purpose.

At Real Care, we know the difference that good people make. We also know how often great workers leave this sector because they’re burnt out, ignored or stuck in jobs that don’t reflect their worth.

We’re doing things differently and we’re growing fast.

We’re looking for:

Experienced Care Professionals

Who feel undervalued, overworked or unsupported in their current roles

New Team Members

Who bring transferable skills and strong values, including people referred by our existing staff

Why Work With Us

At Real Care Support, we believe in doing things differently. We know that delivering high-quality care starts with the people who provide it. That’s why we’ve built a workplace culture where staff feel supported, respected and genuinely valued every step of the way.

Working with us means becoming part of a team that puts purpose before profit. We’re here to change lives, not chase targets. Every member of our team is empowered to make meaningful contributions to the wellbeing of the children in our care.

We offer:

A values-driven environment where the child’s needs always come first
A leadership team that is visible, responsive and committed to your success
Opportunities to influence the way we work through open communication and regular feedback
Clear career progression pathways for those who want to grow with us
A trauma-informed culture that understands the emotional impact of the work and actively supports your wellbeing
Fair pay, transparent expectations and recognition for your efforts

Whether you’re working directly in one of our homes or supporting services behind the scenes, you’ll be part of something that matters. You won’t just be filling a role you’ll be making a real difference in the lives of young people who need stability, trust and care.

Your Training and Development

We believe confident, well-equipped staff deliver the best care. That’s why training and development are central to how we work at Real Care Support. From day one, you’ll receive a structured induction designed to prepare you for your role and give you the tools you need to succeed.

All new starters complete a Mandatory Induction Programme which covers:

Safeguarding and child protection
Trauma-informed practice
Health and safety
Medication management
First aid and emergency procedures
Behaviour management and de-escalation techniques
Equality, diversity and inclusion
Company values, policies and procedures

This foundation ensures you’re ready to support children safely, confidently and in line with regulatory expectations.

But learning doesn’t stop there. We offer ongoing training throughout your time with us, tailored to your role and development goals. This includes:

Access to nationally recognised qualifications such as the Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare
Regular refresher training to keep your knowledge current
Specialist modules on therapeutic care, attachment, mental health and more
1:1 coaching and mentoring to build skills and confidence
Support with career progression into senior, specialist or management roles

We also offer internal development programmes to help you take the next step in your career, whether that’s team leadership or a specialist role in education, therapy or care planning.

You’ll never be left to figure things out alone. We’ll support you every step of the way with clear guidance, regular supervision and a commitment to helping you grow.

Ready to Apply?

Our culture is different. We’re not part of a large profit-driven chain. We’re a small, focused organisation that puts quality care before everything else.

We believe our young people deserve consistency and stability. That starts with staff who feel safe, supported and confident in their role.

If you want to be part of a team where your voice matters and your work changes lives, we’d love to hear from you.
