Working in our Children’s Homes means being a part of a young person’s day-to-day life. This means being there for the highest highs and lowest lows. Our team leaders enable our young people to get their childhood back and create pathways to become well-rounded adults. There will be challenges along the way, but there will also be the smallest moments that feel like a huge small victory.
Our homes accommodate young people with social, emotional and mental health needs, and our aim is to create the best possible outcome for the young people in our care. Our team leaders are fulfilled by the idea of affecting even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things.
You’ll be part of taking care of our young people day to day, ensuring things run smoothly and creating lasting memories. As a team leader you will also ensure the staff team is supported and the home operates to our high standards, prepared to deputise for the Registered and Deputy Managers. We’re looking for someone who can relate to and build relationships with our young people. Compassionate, emotionally resilient, and supportive, you’ll also provide the leadership that inspires your colleagues.
