Find your potential by helping others to reach theirs

Do you genuinely want to help make a difference to the lives of children who have experienced adversity and trauma?

We are looking for people who are passionate and enthusiastic about enhancing the lives of children and young people in our care. As one of our Residential Care Officers, you will support children and young people with complex emotional and behavioural needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle by advising, educating and promoting positive choices.

As an integral part of our care team, you will immediately benefit from our structured training programme and be fully supported to complete a Level 3 Diploma in Children and Young People if you don’t already hold this qualification.

Here at St Cuthberts Care we are committed to enabling individuals to reach their personal potential. Our areas of work include nursing homes for older people, children in care, a fostering service and services for people with disabilities.

We are proud to be the first regional charity in the North East, delivering adult social care as part of our work, to be accredited by the Living Wage Foundation.

We offer our staff a range of additional benefits including:

• 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, including a day off for your birthday
• Christmas bank holidays paid at double time
• Ability to buy and sell annual leave
• Staff savings scheme
