Be the Difference That Children Remember

Children rarely remember meetings, reports, or the professionals around the table.

They remember the people who showed up.

The people who listened when things felt difficult.

The people who celebrated their successes.

The people who stayed alongside them when life became challenging.

At Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, we're launching an innovative Edge of Care Residential Service and we're looking for Residential Care Officers to join us on this exciting journey.

This is more than a care role.

It's about building trusting relationships, creating positive experiences, supporting families through crisis, and helping children rediscover hope, confidence and stability.

• Help children feel safe, valued and understood
• Build meaningful, lasting relationships
• Work within a trauma‑informed, restorative environment
• Create positive childhood memories and experiences

We're looking for compassionate and resilient people who believe in children's potential and want to play a key role in supporting them through some of the most important moments of their lives.

Most importantly, we're looking for people who see the child beyond the behaviour and believe in their future, even when they may struggle to see it themselves.
