By making sure our children’s home is a great place to stay, you’ll be having a lasting positive impact on the lives of the children in your care.

Ideally you will have the Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent) but if not we will fund and support you to achieve this. We will also give you additional outstanding training to help you do your best and develop in this sector. In return, you’ll need to be happy to work flexible hours, including sleep-in duties, and have a full UK driving licence.
