How many hats can you wear in a day?


Are you resilient, robust and resourceful? Honest, reliable, compassionate? Flexible, fun and hard-working? If your answer is yes then we would like you to consider a career in children's residential services.

For us no two days are the same, for example tonight involves:

  • helping cook the tea;
- helping with homework; and
- playing football in the garden

But tomorrow may bring:
- attending meetings;
- addressing challenging behaviour; and
- writing reports

So if the hat fits, read on...

We have a number of opportunities in children's homes in Walsall:

  • Casual posts do not have any guaranteed hours.
  • Hours of work will be offered to successful applicants as required to meet the needs of the Children's Homes within the service.
  • You will be responsible for the direct care of children living in the home, offer high levels of engagement for and with children and be ambitious in achieving positive outcomes for them.
We currently provide residential care for looked after children at three children's home located in Walsall. In 2023, we are expanding our portfolio to five homes. We adopt a child centred approach and actively promote children's rights. We deliver our services in safe, personalised, small group care which promotes children's welfare.

Our Residential Homes can accommodate children up to 18 years of age.

Due to the nature of this post the Department for Education National Minimum Standards state that the employees must be 4 years older than the oldest resident.

Therefore, applicants must be 22 years of age or older.
