SENIOR CARE OFFICER - FIXED TERM

Are you playful and accepting, can you show curiosity and empathy?

If you can then you have something really special to offer our Children living in Children’s Homes.   

If trauma brings resilience, then our Children are superheroes - they deserve the best; the best homes, the best help, the best opportunities, and children tell us over and over again, it’s the staff that matter.

We believe that we need the right people, with the right commitment, skills, tenacity, imagination, and energy in order to offer the best to our children. To do this you will be offered high quality support, training, guidance, and development and be part of a motivated and ambitious team.
