We believe that every child deserves a safe and nurturing home. Our small Residential Child Care homes create caring and supportive family-style environments for young people who have had challenging life experiences.
By placing the needs and interests of our young people at the heart of everything we do, our therapeutic homes support our young people to heal and grow. We build positive, trusting relationships through daily activities such as playing games and cooking meals together whilst developing life skills and helping our young people to feel safe, supported and ready for the future. We celebrate their achievements and do fun activities, but we're also there during the difficult times to believe in them, even when they don't believe in themselves.
We have an exciting opportunity to join us as a Therapeutic Support Worker at our house in Lockerbie. We are looking for exceptional people to provide exceptional care. If you are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of young people, have compassion, resilience and patience then we want to hear from you
