At Cambian Group, you’re not just working – you’re shaping futures. As a Senior Support Worker, based within West Midlands, every moment you spend with our young people (ages 8–18) helps them feel safe, valued and supported.

A simple “How was your day?”, a shared laugh over a board game or encouragement during a tough moment – these small interactions build trust and shape lives. Some days will be challenging but every breakthrough, every smile and every step forward will remind you why this work truly matters.

We are a 3‑bed Children’s home in Birmingham – a warm, welcoming, and inviting home. Our home is a detached property in a cul‑de‑sac in South Birmingham, and we are lucky to have lots of different amenities nearby.

We support children and young people of all ages, with all different needs however we generally focus on children with some emotional and behavioural difficulties. Our young people have generally been through and experienced trauma or adverse childhood experiences throughout their lives. They want to experience feeling “normal”, want to “fit” in and we will do everything in our power to make them feel loved and accepted.

My team nurtures our young people to help them flourish into the best versions of themselves. The team around the children is so important and we want a team that will support and guide our children and young people while also doing all the fun things such as holidays, days out and trips. We need a team that is reliable, welcoming, happy, and works hard.
