At Inspire, we don't just provide care — we create safe, loving homes where children and young people feel seen, heard, and truly valued. Our teams work together like family, united by compassion, trust, and the belief that every young person deserves to feel inspired and supported to flourish.

Responsibilities:
* Create a real sense of belonging, encouraging children and colleagues alike to feel safe, supported, and nurtured.
* Lead and mentor your team to deliver trauma-informed care, ensuring our young people feel loved, respected, and empowered.
* Take ownership of day-to-day care delivery and ensure high standards through adherence to our values and policies.
What makes Inspire different?
We're proud of our strong, close-knit teams and the genuine family feel at the heart of everything we do. Here's what we offer:
* Career development from day one, including support for SCQF Level 9 after 6 months
* Competitive salary and sleepover enhancements
* Generous annual leave (28-31 days plus your birthday off!)
* Employee perks and discounts
* Enhanced maternity leave
* Free meals during shifts
* Death in service cover & pension scheme
* Long service awards and progression opportunities
Requirements:
* At least 2 years' experience in a residential care setting (young people or adults)
* Strong leadership and communication skills
* The ability to stay calm and compassionate in challenging situations
* A full driving licence
* A relevant care qualification (HNC, SCQF 7/SVQ 3), or willingness to gain this
If you care deeply, lead with purpose, and want to make a lasting difference in young people's lives, we'd love to hear from you!
