Jowocare is a growing supported living provider built on social work values. We're looking for skilled, compassionate people — as support workers, keyworkers, and freelance practitioners.
Jowocare was founded by a qualified social worker who has worked inside the system — and experienced first-hand what happens when support isn't properly coordinated. We exist to close that gap.
We're not a large agency. We're a focused, values-driven organisation that takes quality of support seriously — focused entirely on adult supported living (not personal care). That means the people who work here matter enormously, and are treated that way.
"We help the system move people forward. That means working with people who genuinely want to make a difference — not just fill a shift."Jowocare Ltd, Director
Every decision starts with the individual — their goals, their voice, their life.
We coordinate across services and agencies so nothing falls through the gaps.
Clear reporting, honest communication, and outcomes that actually mean something.
We support independence — not dependence. Progress is always the goal.
We work with a flexible model — combining employed and freelance practitioners. Whether you're looking for regular shifts, a structured role, or occasional work around other commitments, we want to hear from you.
Working directly with individuals in their own homes, helping them build daily living skills, access their community and work towards their personal goals.
Taking a lead role with a small caseload of individuals — being their primary point of contact, leading reviews and coordinating the support around them.
For experienced practitioners who want to work flexibly alongside Jowocare on a self-employed basis — providing support, assessments or specialist input as needed.
Specialist role working with young adults (18+) moving from children's services into adult provision — including those with EHCPs, care leavers and young people leaving semi-independent settings.
Supporting individuals stepping down from hospital or inpatient settings — providing structured, community-based support that reduces the risk of re-admission.
Providing flexible, sessional cover across our placements when regular workers are unavailable — ideal for those wanting occasional work alongside other commitments.
We keep our process straightforward and respectful of your time. Here's what happens after you get in touch.
Complete the form below — telling us about your experience, availability and what kind of role interests you.
We'll be in touch within two working days for an informal conversation to learn more about you and answer your questions.
Enhanced DBS check, reference verification, right to work documentation and any relevant professional registration checks.
A structured induction to Jowocare's values, policies and ways of working — followed by careful matching to the right individual(s).
We value attitude and values as much as qualifications. If you're committed to supporting people with genuine care and professionalism, we want to hear from you.
Essential for all roles:
Desirable:
Values-led supervision
Regular 1:1 and group supervision grounded in social work values — not just a tick-box.
Clear support plans
Every individual has a structured support plan so you always know what good looks like.
Responsive management
You won't be left without support. We respond quickly and take concerns seriously.
Training & development
Access to relevant training, including safeguarding, MCA and lone working.
Flexibility
We work hard to match shifts and arrangements to what works for you.
We're building our team ahead of our first placements. If you share our values and want to be part of something meaningful from the start, we'd love to hear from you.
