Family meals are cooked and shared every day, and there are domestic tasks to create a homely environment.
You need to be able to engage with children, guiding them and acting as a positive role model.
It can be challenging at times, but thorough training is provided and there is always support from the home’s staff and management team.

Seniors will be responsible for leading shifts, delegating tasks and completing paperwork.
We are looking for experienced staff who have the knowledge and qualifications to demonstrate their commitment to providing the highest quality care to the children and young people in our homes.

Deputies will work shifts in the home, as well as undertaking administrative and paperwork tasks. This could include planning rotas, completing staff supervisions, assisting in recruitment or the assessment of referrals for new children.
A real willingness to get stuck in, and be instrumental in all aspects of the home life is really important.

You will need to be a great communicator, connecting with young people and their families, the staff team, the wider company as well as key external stake holders in education, local authorities and social care.
