Working at Coanwood Children’s Home is not just a job, it’s one of the most rewarding career choices you will make. Our work is challenging and physical but if you have the drive and dedication, resilience and passion then you will enjoy an exciting and stable career with us.

It is important that our children are supported by adults with a range of professional and personal experiences, ensuring they have access to positive role models who can offer a range of skills and values to support our children to achieve their best possible outcomes in life.

We offer a comprehensive induction and shadowing process for all new staff, excellent training and development opportunities throughout your employment. Northumberland County Council acknowledges the importance of legacy planning, ensuring that our managers of the future are developed from within.

At Coanwood Children’s Home we have four young people (who can be aged between 6 and 17yrs old) living in the home. These young people are here through no fault of their own.
