Join a Fun, Rewarding, and Inspiring Environment Supporting Girls Aged 13–17
We are a vibrant, nurturing, all-female children’s home based in the heart of Lambeth’s Larkhall Ward — just minutes from Tube and Overground links. Purpose-built in 2016 in consultation with care-leavers, our home was designed specifically around young people’s needs and offers space for up to six girls aged 13–17.
This is more than a job — it’s an opportunity to make memories, create positive change, and be part of a warm, creative, extended-family atmosphere. Our home is filled with colour, character, and comfort: graffiti art, soft furnishings, natural light, and thoughtful design that builds stability, safety, and therapeutic support.
If you’re looking for a role where every day brings variety, laughter, challenges, and genuine rewards — you will LOVE it here.
