Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of young people?
Do you have a genuine interest in helping children and teens, even if you have no prior experience? If you're caring, compassionate, and ready to embark on a meaningful career, we want to hear from you!
We're looking for individuals with a passion for working with young people to join our team as

The Role
As a Secure Care Worker, you will be a vital part of a dedicated team, helping young people aged 10 to 17 find stability and hope during difficult times.

Your role will involve
- Offering care and emotional support to young people in a secure environment
- Helping them build self-confidence and develop life skills
- Supporting their education, health, and independence
- Being a positive role model, making a lasting impact on their lives
No two days are the same in this role, and you'll need to be ready for a challenge. Our young people are unique individuals, and we're looking for someone who will treat them as such.
What We're Looking For
- A genuine passion for working with young people
- An optimistic, caring, and compassionate attitude
- A commitment to making a positive impact, no matter how small
If you're enthusiastic about working with children and teens and ready to take on a rewarding role, this could be the perfect opportunity for you - experience isn't necessary, just the right mindset!

Comprehensive training and a supportive induction programme to help you thrive
- Group Personal Pension Scheme
