This is a unique opportunity to lead a small, 3-bed home currently supporting one young person. The setting offers the space to deliver highly individualised, relationship-led care while shaping the future direction, culture, and quality of the home. The young person is a creative and thoughtful teenager who is learning to trust the world around her. She enjoys jewellery-making, arts and crafts, sewing, baking, and meaningful experiences such as theme parks, escape rooms, long walks at Ham Hill, and watching the sunset. Some days she’s full of energy and conversation. Other days, she needs calm, quiet connection with someone who can simply sit alongside her and understand. She needs consistency, safety, and adults who can meet her where she is.
The Opportunity
This role offers the chance to take full leadership of a home and shape a strong, nurturing environment where both the young person and staff team can thrive. You will bring clarity, structure, and a strong sense of practice creating a home that is safe, stable, and aspirational in its approach.

- Supporting the Young Person
