About us:

At Fairview Care & Support, we provide compassionate, around-the-clock care for care-experienced children and young people, including unaccompanied asylum seekers. Whether in a children's residential home, semi-independent shared living, or solo placements, we're here to support young people aged 16 to 18 every step of the way -- whether they need short-term support or a more long-term home.

Our approach is rooted in kindness, respect, and empowerment. We believe young people should lead their own journey, and we're here to walk beside them -- helping them stay safe, make positive choices, and build a future they're proud of.

By keeping young people at the heart of everything we do, we aim to grow from our grassroots into a leading national provider of supported and independent living -- without ever losing our personal, people-first values.

Work consistently with behaviour support strategies and promote emotional well-being. Keep accurate records, communicate effectively with colleagues, and follow all safeguarding and health & safety guidelines.

Development & Training:

Ongoing training to grow your skills and confidence. Monthly supervision and support for your personal development. Opportunities to build a meaningful, long-term career in care.
