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 where young people can grow and flourish.
The team at Arach is passionate about improving young people's lives, with empathy and experience in trauma-informed care. The ability to advocate for all our young people, being creative, proactive, and willing to bring new ideas to support their journey, is essential.
Why Arach?
You will work alongside a dedicated, passionate team where your contributions and skills are valued.
Be part of a team transforming care delivery 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.
