✨ Who We Are:

ARC HD Services Ltd, part of Community Integrated Care, provides specialist residential and 1:1 support for young people aged 9–18 facing complex social, emotional, and mental health challenges, including ASD, ADHD, PTSD, and trauma‑related behaviours.

We run four small, nurturing homes—each supporting up to three young people in a warm, homely environment tailored to individual needs. Every child has their own private space, plus shared areas for connection and community.

🏡 Welcome to Our Home – Fareham

A spacious bungalow with private bedrooms, bathrooms and lounges, where we support up to 3 amazing young people (ages 9–18). We’re a fun, energetic crew who believe in laughter, love, and helping kids thrive. 💛

🌈 What We’re All About

• 👫 Child‑first care, tailored to each child's individual journey
• 🌍 Fun – community beach cleans, charity events, days out and great everyday experiences
• 😂 Big on humour, warmth & weirdness
• 🏠 Creating a safe home environment that feels like… well, home
• 👥 Helping children to find their voice, build their identities and pursue their own path in life

💼 The Role

• 👥 1:1 support with young people
• ⏰ 9 and 15 hour shifts available from Monday - Sunday (days), as well as sleepovers
• 🚗 UK driving licence required – own car is beneficial as the service is not well served by public transport
• 👫 Bank roles available

💖 You Are…

• ✔️ Honest, kind & non‑judgemental
• ✔️ Great with kids & teamwork
• ✔️ Ready to laugh, listen & lift others up
• ✔️ Passionate about helping young people shine
• ✔️ Willing to listen when kids need to talk
• ✔️ A confidence‑builder who celebrates every win

We hire based on values, welcoming people from all walks of life: seasoned Support Workers, Care Assistants, Veterans, Teachers and Teaching Assistants, those with lived experience, or even total newbies with a passion for care.
