• Working collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams.
• Observing and guiding parents during vulnerable periods, such as after birth or during MH crises (e.g. supervised support at local hospitals like Derriford).
• Offering short notice support with a calm, caring, and solution-focused approach.

Essential Requirements:

• Experienced in delivering high-impact, regulated care for CYP (safeguarding is central).
• Desirable: Own car & full UK driving licence (with or willing to add business insurance).
• MAPPA or PMVA trained (essential).
• NVQ Level 1, 2 or 3 (or higher) in Health & Social Care preferred.
• Able to communicate clearly, write quality notes using our SaaS platform, and work as part of a safeguarding-first MDT.
• Available with short notice and comfortable with sub-mini contracts.

What We Offer:

• Weekly Pay – Every Friday, just in time for the weekend!
• Reimbursement of mileage and travel expenses.
• Access to high-impact training and upskilling programmes.
• Rolling momentum of 1 to 12-week sub-mini contracts across a 7-year Devon framework.
• Devon-based Social Care Manager, locally present to support you.
• Full contractor care: Compliance help, onboarding, flexibility, and regular check-ins.
• Fully compliant with all UK payment models (Umbrella, PAYE, etc.).
