About us
The Oval (St. Helens) is our pride & joy, it’s where we’ll assess and support Families with their babies for around 12 weeks, working closely with Social Services in our Ofsted registered Residential Family Centre.
We’re looking for ambitious staff to join our team.
Within The Oval we can support upto 5 Families at any one time, and we believe it’s important they know who is working with them while they’re with us. That’s where you come in!
We will work with you on your own development to further enhance the lives of those that we care for.
Within The Oval our primary focus is always on what is best for the babies that are with us, and we know the best way to achieve this is by being completely honest, transparent and empathetic with the Parent.
Within Shape Care our primary focus is you. We’ll make sure you feel valued, fairly compensated and empowered. You’ll find out much more once you’ve registered interest with us.
Our 20 odd years of experience tell us we can never rest on our laurels so we continually read, develop ourselves & strive for better, so part of trying to shape the industry with us means you will share these views.
The Role
You’ll be an integral part of a small team which will be part of The Oval’s larger team, and while every Parent will know you’re there to support, ultimately your caseload will be 2 families & babies, handing over your colleagues.
Whether you’re imparting wisdom, soothing a baby, or monitoring the CCTV, you’ll know you being there is making a difference to the lives of those that live with us.
Communication is absolutely vital, so you’ll have weekly regular updates with your team, as well as monthly meetings with the whole team.
Ideally you’ll have experience enriching the lives of others.

Your observations, assessments and reports were insightful, professional and accurate
