We're proud to partner with a respected children's residential care provider dedicated to nurturing children's growth and well-being.

  • Prior experience working with children and young people in a residential care setting is advantageous but not mandatory.
  • Demonstrated compassion and empathy, with a genuine interest in the well-being and development of children and young people.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to forge positive relationships with children, colleagues, and external stakeholders.
  • Resilience, patience, and the capacity to remain composed in challenging circumstances.
  • A commitment to promoting the welfare and safeguarding of children and young people.
  • Flexibility to work on a shift basis, including weekends and evenings.
