de novo care is a small, nurturing residential childcare organisation providing safe, stable and therapeutic homes for children and young people who have experienced adversity. We currently operate two Ofsted-registered homes—one on the outskirts of Taunton and one near Wellington—and we are proud of the warm, structured, and child-centred environments we provide.
We are now looking to expand our bank team to support both homes with planned and unplanned cover. This role is open only to applicants who already hold a Level 3 or Level 4 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent).
