Children’s Homes

We partner with children’s homes to fully understand the specific care requirements, staff-to-child ratios, and the particular challenges of each home, ensuring that every candidate is well-matched for the role.

Our recruitment strategy begins with sourcing candidates from a range of professional networks, job boards, and our trusted database of carers. We focus on individuals with experience in residential care, particularly those trained in working with vulnerable children and young people.

Each applicant undergoes an in-depth vetting process, which includes:

• Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks
• Full safeguarding training and compliance with national child protection policies
• Verification of relevant qualifications (e.g., NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care, Children and Young People)
• Reference checks from previous care roles
• Proof of right to work and ID verification

We take a holistic approach to recruitment, seeking out candidates who not only possess the required skills and qualifications but also demonstrate the patience, empathy, and resilience needed to thrive in often challenging situations. For both permanent and temporary roles, we prioritize individuals who can build trust with young people, model positive behaviors, and contribute to a supportive and stable care environment.

In addition to recruiting staff, we offer ongoing support, including access to specialized training in areas such as trauma-informed care, managing challenging behaviors, and safeguarding updates. This ensures that our staff are fully equipped to meet the ever-changing needs of children in residential care.

Our ultimate goal is to place skilled, dedicated individuals into positions where they can make a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable children and young people, helping to guide them through difficult times and offer them the support they need to thrive.
