Our Supported Accommodation service works to create and promote a positive environment for each young person in the independent living scheme. We are passionate about the provision of creative and ambitious opportunities for our young people, supporting them to thrive and develop in a nurturing and safe environment which promotes the emotional and physical well-being of children. Our services are well regarded, and we are proud of our reputation for not giving up on children with very complex backgrounds.
Our team works hard to improve the lives of the young people in our care. Our environment is unique, and the pressure is always on to keep ourselves and those in our care safe and successful.
We need highly motivated, resilient and positive team members with humour, tenacity, and empathy to help our young people thrive. You may be new to the care profession or experienced and want a change. We value your life experiences, energy, personal strength, and positive mental attitude.
