Crynodeb
We're working in partnership with London Borough of Bromley opening a brand-new children's home and we're looking for dedicated children and young people workers to help us turn a beautiful house into a place to call home.
Changing Childhoods. Changing Lives.
We're getting ready to open the doors of a brand-new children's home, and we're looking for caring, committed Residential Children and Young Person Workers to help us make it a place where children feel safe, valued, and truly at home.
This is more than a job, it's a chance to be part of something from the very beginning. Our home is built on the foundations of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) and the PACE model (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy), creating a culture of connection, trust, and healing.
What Young People Say About the Home
“I'd love to live in a place like this.” – Young person, age 17
“It's a nice house. Really big.” – Young person, age 17
We're proud of the space we've created, and even prouder of the relationships we'll build inside it.
What Children Say They Want in Staff
“Someone who won't give up on me” Anon.
“People that understand me; to make me feel like I fit in” Anon.
These voices guide what we do. We're committed to child-centred care, and we want staff who share that commitment.

Work as part of a team to create a safe, stable, and nurturing home

Contribute to a culture of kindness, curiosity, and connection
What We're Looking For

A relational, trauma-informed approach to care
Strong safeguarding knowledge

Ability to work in a team
Flexibility to commit to sleep-ins and shift work, including weekends and bank holidays.
