Job Purpose
At Arach, we believe that every child deserves the chance to flourish regardless of their background and the circumstances that have brought them to live with us. The children we support are presently not able to live with their own families, and many have suffered from trauma and loss in their young lives.
Our residential house offers crisis and emergency care to up to 4 young people. As our children are with us short-term, the care team is required to build relationships quickly, support and nurture the young people in a loving and compassionate way, ensuring they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Our experienced team works hard to create a comfortable home environment where young people can grow and flourish.
The team at Arach are passionate about improving young people's lives, with empathy and experience in trauma-informed care. They advocate for all our young people, are creative, proactive, and willing to bring new ideas to support their journey.
Why Arach?

Be part of a team transforming the way care is delivered and making a positive impact on young people's lives.
This role involves working in a residential care setting, providing round-the-clock support to young people.
All staff are required to be registered with the SSSC. Training will be provided if needed to meet registration requirements, including trauma-informed practice based on Dan Hughes' models of intervention.
