Workplace: It's not the money, but ... Residential child care

The posts involve working with children ranging from the ages of five up to 17. All of them require applicants to have relevant qualifications equal to or above NVQ Level 3. However, the type of support needed by children varies. For example, the East Sussex position is based in a secure unit and is focused on the rehabilitation of the young people held there, while the Harrow position involves working with disabled children. All positions involve shift work including sleep-in shifts.
