About You

You'll bring experience or a strong interest in working with children or young people, and an understanding of safeguarding and trauma-informed care.

About Our Team

Clare Lodge is supported by a dedicated, multidisciplinary team including residential care staff, social workers, health professionals, and educators. We work collaboratively to provide trauma-informed care and build meaningful relationships with young people, many of whom have experienced significant challenges.

Whether you're new to residential care or bring years of experience, you'll be joining a team that values empathy, professionalism, and making a lasting difference.

Could This Be You?
