If you’ve got a big heart, loads of patience, and want to support children who’ve had a tough start in life, this could be the perfect role for you.
You’ll be part of a small, close-knit team who genuinely care—not just about the children, but about each other.

- Help young people manage their emotions and behaviours in a positive, respectful way
- Working as part of a close-knit team that’s got each other’s backs and works together to give children the best care possible
- Keeping the home tidy, safe, and a place to be proud of
- Writing reports and logs to help keep things running smoothly and safely
You’ll need:
- Life experience from any background – we’ll provide full training!
- A calm, caring and reliable personality
- Willingness to learn about trauma-informed care (don’t worry, we’ll teach you)
- A full UK driving licence and be over the age of 21
