Support Worker • Children's Homes • Walsall & Bilston

A job you'll actually be proud to talk about.

At Foresight Care we support children who've had a tough start. If you're patient, reliable and want work that means something, we'll train you and back you. No care experience needed.

Denise, Registered Manager

"You don't need experience to change a child's life. You need to turn up, stay kind, and mean it. We'll teach you the rest."

What the job's really like

A real day, not a job description

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

Mornings

The school run

Breakfast, uniforms, getting everyone to school on time, the same as any parent would.

After school

Cooking & homework

A proper meal together, homework, and being there while they tell you about their day.

When it's hard

Staying calm

Some days a child struggles with something they can't put into words. You stay steady and kind.

Evenings

Winding down

Activities, a film, a calm bedtime routine, then writing up the day's records before your shift ends.

What you'll need
