Stockton Borough Council is seeking to recruit 3 Residential Care Officers, where you will provide high quality care and support in a residential setting to vulnerable young people who are unable to live with their families.

This is a rewarding role where you will be expected to be a positive role model for our children and young people. If you are caring and compassionate, enthusiastic, motivated, and approachable we’d love you to join our team at Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council.

If you do not hold the required qualification, then we will provide you with a structured training program and support where needed to gain your required Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare.
