We Are Hiring!
Children & Young Adults Support Worker
Crossroads Care Oxfordshire
Help Children with Care Needs Live Rich and Fulfilling Lives
Would you like a role where your kindness truly changes lives?
At Crossroads Care Oxfordshire, children and young adults are at the heart of everything we do. We support families by providing compassionate, reliable care that enables children with additional and complex needs to live full, happy and meaningful lives — both at home and in their community.
We are looking for caring, empathetic individuals who can become a trusted and valued part of a child’s or young adults world and a supportive presence for their family.
About the Role
As a Children & Young Adults Support Worker, you will provide personalised support in the family home and accompany children & young adults safely into the community.
Every day is different. You might be:
Supporting a child or young person at the park or on a community outing
Assisting with swimming, soft play, or other fun activities
Providing support at school to help with learning and engagement
Helping with daily routines, personal care, and mealtimes
Supporting mobility and independence
Preparing meals or helping with light household tasks to ease pressure on families
Some of the children and young adults we support have specialist or complex needs. This may include delivering care such as PEG feeding, administering medication, or using mobility or medical equipment. You will receive full, paid training to carry out any specialist tasks safely and confidently.
You will follow individual care plans and risk assessments, work closely with families and professionals, and always prioritise safeguarding and wellbeing.
What We’re Looking For
Experience in care is welcomed — particularly supporting children or young adults with complex needs — but it is not essential.
What matters most to us is who you are.
We are looking for people who:
Are kind, patient and naturally empathetic
Genuinely enjoy working with children and young adults
Communicate clearly and work well as part of a team
Are reliable and emotionally aware
Want to make a meaningful difference
Are willing to learn and develop new skills
We place great value on the caring and sensitive qualities that cannot be taught. Skills can be trained — compassion cannot.
What We Offer
Fully paid training, including specialist care skills
Ongoing supervision and support
Opportunities for professional development
A rewarding role where no two days are the same
The chance to make a lasting difference to children and their families
A Truly Rewarding Role
This is more than a job. It’s about helping children and young adults feel safe, valued and empowered. It’s about enabling families to breathe a little easier. It’s about being part of moments that matter — big and small.
If you are compassionate, motivated, and want to build a career that makes a real impact, we would love to hear from you.
Apply today and help children and young adults’ live life to the full.
