Make a Real Difference in a Child’s Life
Some children can’t live at home for all sorts of reasons. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for caring, patient, and resilient people to support children in a home where they can feel safe, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
This isn’t just a job—it’s an opportunity to change lives. Every day, you’ll help children feel secure, gain confidence, and learn essential life skills. Some days will be challenging, but the rewards? They’re huge.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Keeping Things Running Smoothly: You’ll help make our home a safe and loving place. This means everything from cooking meals to keeping things tidy and everything in between.
- Looking Out for Safety: You’ll keep an eye on things to make sure everyone is safe. This includes writing down any incidents and making sure kids are using their phones and computers safely.
- Building Trust: You’ll get to know the kids and build trust with them, making them feel secure and cared for.
- Setting Boundaries: It’s important to be firm but fair, setting clear rules and sticking to them to help manage behavior.
- Taking Care of Health Needs: You’ll help arrange and go along to doctor’s appointments and make sure any treatments are done right.
- Working Together: You’ll work with your team, as well as with kids' families and other professionals, to make sure we’re all doing the best for the kids.
- Helping Kids Grow: You’ll support kids in developing their social skills and learning, helping them get ready for the future.
- Learning and Growing: We’ll support you with training all the way up to a Diploma. You’ll also get regular feedback to help you keep improving.
- Admin Stuff: There’ll be some paperwork to keep up with, like keeping records for the kids and handling some of the home’s money matters.
- Flexible Working: Your working hours will change, including some nights staying over (we call this sleep-in duties), and you’ll need to work some weekends and holidays too.
Why You Should Apply:
- Career Growth: Many of our managers started out just like you and grew into leadership roles.
- Supportive Environment: We all support each other here. No problem is too big to tackle together, and our doors are always open.
- Make a Difference: Every day, you’ll see the impact you’re making in the kids’ lives. It’s about more than just a job.
