Children’s Support Worker- Domicillary (BCG0021)

Role Overview

As a Domiciliary Child Care Worker, you'll support children with varying needs within their own homes and the community. Unlike live-in or long shifts, domiciliary care focuses on shorter, structured visits to provide essential support, encourage independence, and build safe, trusting relationships.

What the Role Involves

• Visiting children in their homes at agreed times (morning, after school, evening, weekend support)
• Assisting with daily routines (personal care, meals, homework, activities)
• Supporting children to access the community (clubs, appointments, social activities)
• Encouraging independence and self-confidence
• Offering emotional and behavioural support
• Working in line with individual care plans
• Keeping accurate records of support provided and any incidents/concerns
• Communicating effectively with families, schools, and professionals involved in the child's care

Children You May Work With

• Children with additional or complex needs
• Young people who may have experienced trauma, neglect, or challenging backgrounds
• Neurodiverse children (autism, ADHD, learning difficulties)
• Each care package will be tailored to the child you'll always have a clear briefing

Qualities You'll Need

• Consistency & reliability - children need carers they can depend on
• Patience & understanding - every child is different
• Compassion & empathy - putting the child's needs first
• Resilience - handling challenging situations calmly
• Flexibility - working across different homes and families
• Strong communication - liaising with families, schools, and professionals
• Positive energy - making visits enjoyable and supportive

Support & Training

• Structured induction and shadow shifts before working independently
• Ongoing training, including safeguarding, behaviour management, and specialist skills
• Access to Health & Social Care qualifications (Level 2/3)
• Guidance and support from our office and management team

 

This is a rewarding role where you can truly make a difference in a child’s life every day.
