Our mission is powerful and clear: to help children aged 7–17 rebuild trust, confidence, and hope. We work with young people who have experienced loss, instability, or trauma. We don’t define them by their past — we support them to step into their potential. Using trauma-informed, PACE-based practice, we create warm, stable homes where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to grow. This is meaningful work. This is change you can see happen.

  • Building meaningful relationships based on trust
  • Supporting emotional development, independence, routines, learning & community involvement
  • Championing safeguarding and positive practice
  • Working as part of a supportive, reflective team

Requirements:

  • Children's residential care experience (preferred)
  • Full UK driving licence (essential)
  • Access to a car (preferred)
  • Willingness to work a varied rota
What we offer:
  • Your Birthday Off
  • Generous Referral Bonus
  • Wellness Allowance
  • Extra Annual Leave increasing with service
  • Donation Match Scheme
  • Fully Funded Qualifications (including Level 3 Residential Childcare Diploma)
  • Blue Light Card Access
  • Access to a Company Vehicle when needed for work
  • Enhanced Pay for Overtime & Festival Periods
