A career that changes lives, including yours
This isn’t an easy job. You’ll support children who’ve experienced trauma, loss and rejection. Some days will be challenging. Some relationships will take time.

  • Build safe, meaningful relationships and act as a positive role model
  • Create a home environment that feels secure, nurturing and fun
  • Support education, appointments, contact and leisure activities
  • Work closely with a supportive team, manager and clinical professionals
  • Complete care documentation clearly and accurately

This role is for you if you:

  • Are calm, resilient and genuinely care about children
  • Can work flexibly across days, nights, weekends and sleep‑ins
  • Hold a full UK driving licence
  • Are over 21 years old (GOQ – Equality Act 2010)

Level 3 qualified and looking for flexible bank shifts? Let us know on your application.

What we offer

  • 33 days holiday
  • We pay Real Living Wage
  • Excellent salary progression & clear career pathways. Did you know 89% of Registered Managers started as Therapeutic Carers with us?
  • Expert clinical training (online & in‑house)
  • Funded Level 4 Diploma
  • Monthly supervision focused on wellbeing & development
  • 24/7 management support
  • Wellbeing programme (health screening, therapy, dental & more)
  • Opportunity for enhanced overtime and enhanced pay schemes
  • Blue Light Card – 15,000+ discounts
  • Refer a friend: £400 total reward
