Do you feel like your work isn’t valued?
Are you passionate about supporting children, but frustrated by the way some care settings are run?
Do you want to be part of something more personal, a place that feels like family, where children and staff are truly cared for?
If that sounds like you, Willow Family Care is exactly what you’re looking for.
A new home with heart
This is a rare opportunity to be one of the first team members in a brand new children’s home created by professionals from the healthcare and education sectors, all driven by a shared goal: to build something different.
Too many residential homes are set up as money-making machines. Willow is not one of them. This home has been designed to feel safe, warm and full of care, for both the children who live there and the people who support them.
We want to build a team who are committed to helping young people feel seen, heard, and nurtured. In return, you’ll be supported and valued every step of the way.
What you’ll do
Provide consistent, compassionate care for young people aged 12–17 with social and emotional mental health (SEMH) needs
Help children build confidence, emotional resilience, and a sense of belonging
Work closely with colleagues, families and professionals to support positive outcomes
Be a trusted adult children can rely on — every day
What we offer
A genuinely caring team who want to do things the right way
A clear salary structure and benefits to support your wellbeing and growth
Ongoing professional development, supervision and reflective practice
A culture that values emotional health, not just compliance
The opportunity to help shape something meaningful from day one
Your birthday off
28 days annual leave entitlement increasing with service
Health insurance
Uplift for bank holidays, sleep ins and on call
What we're looking for in you
Ideally you will have experience supporting children, young people or vulnerable individuals in a care, support or education setting, however, this is not essential so please apply if you feel you have the desire and skills for the role
A calm, compassionate approach and the ability to build trusting relationships
A team player who’s reflective, reliable and willing to muck in
Good communication skills — someone who listens well and helps children feel heard and understood
Emotional resilience and self-awareness — this work can be tough, but it matters
A strong sense of responsibility for safeguarding and children’s welfare
Full training will be provided so that you can work towards Level 3 Diploma for the Early Years Educator (NVQ Level 3 in Childcare)
The flexibility to work shifts, including sleep-ins, weekends and evenings as part of a rota (this typically includes 3 shifts per week of which some weeks there will be a 48 hour shift)
Safer Recruitment
Willow Family Care is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
This role requires an enhanced DBS check and at least two references, including your most recent employer and one who can comment on your suitability to work with children.
