No  two days are the same in residential care.  You will also work with other agencies such as education, children’s social care, police and health to help create and action holistic plans that meet our children’s needs.

Our roles are offered on a full time, permanent basis where you will work a  shift pattern including evenings, weekends and nights.

About our homes

Mainstream Homes:  We currently have 4 mainstream homes – Albion Street in Spalding, Eastgate in Sleaford, Northolme in Gainsborough and Robin House in Lincoln, which is a specialist residential home providing therapeutic care and support for children. We have also recently opened a brand new home, Riverhead House in Louth. The children we care for in our mainstream homes are between primary school age and 18 years old and move into residential for a variety of reasons. Our aim is to create a warm and nurturing home where we support them to thrive and reach their full potential.

Supported Accommodation:  We have a home in Grantham (Denton Avenue) and one in Gainsborough (Rowston Close) that provides 16–18 year olds with the opportunity to experience independent living in an environment that encourages them to develop new skills in a supported manner.   Carer's working in our Supported Accommodation Homes will be lone working at times and will be expected to travel between both sites.

Children With Disabilities:  We also have 3 homes specifically designed for children with disabilities. The Beacon at Grantham is a long term care home. Haven Cottage in Boston and Strut House in Lincoln provide short term breaks. We provide care for children from primary school age up to 18 years old in these homes. 

Lincs Secure Unit:  Young people come to our secure home via the courts through the Youth Custody Service or for Welfare reasons. Our Care Officers here are trauma informed and help children rehabilitate back into the community, or transition into adult estates. We provide full training in trauma informed practices as well as in residential childcare to ensure children are being empowered to believe in themselves and to promote the best possible outcomes through education, health and intervention. We usually care for children age 11–18 years old.
