Support Worker • Children's Home • Birmingham

It is not childcare. It is being someone's steady adult.

At Foresight Care we look after children who have had a rough start. You would be one of the people who makes their days feel normal and safe. Full training, and no care experience needed. Just the right sort of person.

A real day at Foresight "You go home knowing a kid had a normal, safe day because you turned up."

Filmed with our staff and around the home. We never show the children, safeguarding comes first.

What you would actually do

A real day, not a job description

No two days match, but this is the shape of it. If reading this makes you think "I could do that," you probably can.

7:00

The morning rush

Breakfast, uniforms, and making sure everyone gets to school on time, the same as any parent would.

Daytime

Running the home

Logs, appointments, planning the evening, a food shop. It is a real house, so it needs running like one.

After school

Cooking and homework

You cook a proper meal together and help with homework. Often you are just there while they tell you about their day.

Any time

When a day goes sideways

Sometimes a child kicks off because something hurts that they cannot say yet. You stay calm and you stay kind.

Evenings

Activities and downtime

Football in the garden, a film, a drive out at the weekend. Ordinary things that a lot of these kids never had.

Bedtime

Wind down and write up

A calm bedtime routine, then one last check on the daily records before your shift ends.

Let us be honest with you

Who this job is really for

We would rather tell you straight than have you leave in three months. Read both lists before you get in touch.

This is you if

  • You are patient, and you do not rattle easily
  • You show up when you say you will
  • You want work that actually means something
  • You are happy to be trained and to learn on the job
  • You can be the calm one when a child cannot be

This is not you if

  • You want a quiet job where every day is the same
  • You are counting the minutes to the end of a shift
  • You take challenging behaviour personally
  • You are only in it until something easier comes along

We train you, and we keep you

You do not need a care background. You need to be the right person.

We put you through everything the role needs and we pay while you learn. People who train with us tend to stay, and we build the rota around real life.

Message us, we will get back to you today
