About the role
Our children’s residential homes create a “home from home” environment for our children and young people.
Working independently and as part of a team, you’ll support children in the home and out and about in the community – getting ready for school, preparing meals, going trampolining or swimming, days out and holidays, and accessing medical appointments. Whatever their passions, you’ll help them fulfil their potential and develop their independence.

About you
While we value experience, it is not essential to have previously worked in health and social care, or with autistic people. Our comprehensive induction, training and mentoring will give you all the skills and tools you need to thrive in your career.
All that we ask is that you are a good team player with a can-do attitude, drive and resilience for what can be a demanding role. You should be friendly and approachable with good communication skills, enabling you to build positive, trusting relationships with the children in your care.
Our staff come from all walks of life, and bring their experiences, interests and skills – be that cooking, sports, the outdoors, art or crafts – with them to enrich children’s lives. If you’re seeking a rewarding job and want to make a genuine difference, this is the role for you.
