Find your potential by helping others to reach theirs

Do you genuinely want to help make a difference to the lives of children who have experienced adversity and trauma?

We are looking for people who are passionate and enthusiastic about enhancing the lives of children and young people in our care. As one of our Residential Care Officers, you will support children and young people with complex emotional and behavioural needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle by advising, educating and promoting positive choices.
