- Clear career pathways for your future development

Part of the role involves some overnight stays in the home You will need to do between 2 and 3 of these ‘sleep-ins’ per week. For each sleep-in you would receive an additional £50 per night - if you completed nine sleep ins per month, you could earn an additional £4500 per year to help towards that well deserved holiday

You will need to have good written, verbal and IT communication skills, know how to have fun and understand the importance of play to children.

We will support you to achieve your Level 4 Qualifications. Ideally, you will have a full driving licence and be over the age of nineteen.

**Why join Five Rivers?**
We are a social enterprise. Our homes are run by kind, compassionate and resilient people who give children a sense of security they may have struggled to find until now. These individuals open their hearts to the children they look after, forming deep connections that help turn children’s lives around. They are dependable, responsible role models and their positive influence can last a lifetime.

We are an award-winning organisation: we are proud to hold the Investors in People Gold Award, Children & Young People’s Employer of the year, and Apprenticeship providers’ Employer of the year.
