The unit is a secure children's home which offers care and support to young people aged 10-18 who have been referred by the Youth Custody Service and includes Youth Offenders.

* On-site meals usually eaten with the young people
* Local authority employer benefits
* Fully funded training and ongoing professional development
The successful candidate must have:
* Experience working with young people in Children's Homes, Care Leavers, Youth Justice
* Or transferable experience from Prison Officer, Probation Officer, Youth Offending, Custodial Services
* Understanding of young people safeguarding in a secure or prison environment
* Emotional and physical resilience as you will need to work with aggressive behaviour and restraints
