Minster View is a Children’s home providing both residential placements and overnight short breaks for children and young people with significant learning disabilities and associated challenging behaviours.

We are looking for inspirational individuals who have the right skills and knowledge to work with the most vulnerable service users, meeting their physical, emotional and health care needs.

Are you motivated, caring and committed to meeting the needs of the children and young people you care for as well as having the ability and resilience to work in what can be a very physically and emotionally challenging environment?

Do you have experience of working with children and young people within a residential setting or in a similar role?

Are you prepared to work shifts over 7 days a week including bank holidays? The early shift starts at 7am until 3pm and the late shifts are 2pm until 10pm. You will also have night awake and on occasions sleep in duties. 

Appointment to this post is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check.

Disabled applicants who meet the essential shortlisting requirements will be guaranteed an interview. A job share scheme is available for all full-time posts: both permanent and temporary, unless otherwise stated. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and we expect all staff to share this commitment and undergo appropriate checks.
