Are you someone who loves making a difference in a child’s life?

Do you have a kind, caring nature and want a role that truly means something?

If so, we’d love to welcome you to Active Care in the Home as a Children’s Support Worker for our amazing young client in Hailsham.

About The Role

You’ll be supporting a 10-year-old boy with complex health needs in his family home.

He lives with his loving family (and a friendly dog!), and you’ll play a key role in his day-to-day wellbeing and development.

This is a deeply rewarding role where your compassion and reliability make a real impact.

Meet our client

I am a happy, smiley boy who loves cuddles and playing outside. I enjoy music, singing and dancing, number rhymes, and songs. I am interested in what is happening around me and like to be involved. I love being outside on my trampoline, lying on my floor mats with toys around me to touch and play with, and doing activities such as sailing, skiing, nature walks, swimming, riding my bike, scouts, and watersports.

When you’ll work

  • Weekday afternoons - Mon, Thurs, Fri (3.30pm-6.30pm)
  • Saturdays (9.30am-6pm)
  • Plus back up for the weekday morning shifts (6.30am-8am) when the other support worker is off
  • Part time
  • In this role, you’ll support one individual with complex needs, working regular weekly shifts to build a consistent, trusted care team. While hours are usually stable, the position is offered on a zero-hours contract

What you’ll need

  • A passion for working with children
  • A kind, caring, and patient approach
  • Reliability and flexibility
  • Good communication skills and a team spirit

(Full training, shadow shifts, and ongoing support are provided — so you don’t need prior complex care experience to start!)

What you’ll get

  • Up to £13.50 per hour (depending on experience)
  • Full specialist training and shadowing before you start
  • Accrued holiday pay and regular, consistent shifts
  • Flexible zero-hour contract to suit your lifestyle
  • Access to our Active Learning Hub with e-learning & in-person development opportunities
  • Nest Personal Pension
  • Recognition and rewards through our Active Awards programme
  • Refer a Friend bonus – earn up to £1,500!
  • Continuous support from our experienced clinical and care management teams to help you grow your career

Join a team that cares

At Active Care Group we want everyone to feel welcome and supported. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences. If you need any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment or interview process, just let us know and we’d be very happy to discuss this with you.
