For children’s residential homes
Support workers who understand what a home needs.
Every children’s home has its own rhythm, its own young people and its own way of doing things. CareRise Group is a recruitment agency that starts by understanding yours, then discusses whether we can help with the support workers you need.
Our approach
What we understand about residential work
Residential support isn’t like other staffing. These are the things we’ll want to get right with you.
Consistency matters
Children and young people often do better with familiar adults. We’ll talk with you about continuity, and about longer-term assignments where that suits the home.
Shifts aren’t nine to five
Days, evenings, weekends and nights all look different in a home. We discuss the actual pattern you need rather than a generic booking.
Your plans come first
Workers follow the home’s policies, each young person’s agreed plans and the direction of the home’s management. They don’t bring their own approach.
Handover and recording
Good handovers and accurate records keep everyone safe. We’ll make sure workers know your recording and handover practices are part of the role.
Your requirements
What we’ll ask you
- The shift pattern, including any waking or sleeping nights
- The experience and qualifications the home requires for the role
- How new workers are inducted, and whether a shadow shift is expected
- Who will supervise the worker, and how feedback reaches us
- Any information the home needs to see before someone starts
- Practical requirements of the role, such as driving
- Any behaviour support or physical intervention approach your home uses, so we only propose workers trained in it
Keep young people’s details private
Please don’t share young people’s names or details when you contact us. We don’t need them to discuss staffing.
Roles we can discuss
- Children’s residential support workers
- Support workers
We don’t supply nursing, clinical or therapeutic staff, and we don’t run children’s homes ourselves.
Before anyone starts
We intend to complete safer recruitment checks for every worker we propose: identity and right to work, employment history and references, relevant qualifications and experience, and the appropriate DBS check with barred-list information where the role is eligible.
We will share confirmation of the checks completed, so the home can satisfy itself that a worker is suitable before they start. The home remains responsible for its own safeguarding arrangements, induction and supervision. DBS checks are one part of safer recruitment; they can’t guarantee that someone is safe on their own.
These standards are proposed and awaiting approval by CareRise Group’s owners.

How it works
Step 1: Tell us what you need.
The role, the shift pattern, the location and when you’d like someone to start.
Step 2: We discuss suitability.
Experience, qualifications, checks and induction arrangements for your home.
Step 3: Confirm arrangements.
Availability, checks and terms are agreed before any work begins.
Step 4: Keep talking.
Your feedback helps us raise concerns early and support continuity.
A new agency
Clear about where we are
CareRise Group is a new agency. We don’t publish client lists, placement numbers or testimonials we don’t have. What we can offer is a careful conversation about your home’s needs, and a straight answer about what we can and can’t provide.
Please note
Service options and availability are confirmed individually. An enquiry does not guarantee staffing cover.
