Clayfields House is an ‘Outstanding’ Secure Children’s Home. Have you got what it takes to join an ‘Outstanding’ team?

We are looking for motivated and enthusiastic people to join a team working to meet the complex needs of young people at the Centre.

Working a variety of shifts, late, early, weekends and bank holidays, you will be involved in providing fulfilling and engaging activities to our young people.

Shift work has a significant impact on your lifestyle and you will need to consider this before you apply.

You will be a team player, more interested in solutions than problems, and resilient enough to act as an anchor to young people who need safety, contentment and a new sense of direction in life.

Clayfields House provides great support and opportunities for promotion throughout the Centre.

You must have a minimum of 6 months experience of working with children, young people or adults either in a voluntary, work or other relevant setting. You must have a good standard of literacy and if not already held, you will be expected to attain the Level 3 Diploma for Children & Young People.

Applicants must be at least 22 years of age.
