Are you an experienced Residential Support Worker with a background of supporting children and young adults with complex needs in the Barnstaple and surrounding area?
I am looking for experienced and dedicated Residential Support Workers to support a Barnstaple children’s home in both their day and their Waking Nights teams to provide the highest level of care and support for the children living there.
