Those

huge small victories

Working

in our Children’s Homes means being a part of a young person’s day

to day life. This means being there for the highest highs and

lowest lows. Our shift leaders enable our young people to get their

childhood back and create pathways to become well rounded adults –

an incredibly rewarding role to have. There will be challenges

along the way but there will also be the smallest moments which

feel like a huge small

victory!

Our homes accommodate

young people with social, emotional and mental health needs, and

our aim is to create the best possible outcome for the young people

in our care. Our shift leaders are fulfilled by the idea of

affecting even the smallest positive

changes in our

young people, so we celebrate the little

things.

Get

out what you put in

up to deputise for the Team Leaders. We’re looking for someone able

to relate to and build relationships with our young people.

Compassionate, emotionally resilient, and supportive, you’ll also

be able to provide the leadership that inspires your

colleagues.
