An opportunity to join our existing dynamic team within Clayfields House

Help us to make a difference to the lives of young people in trouble. We believe everyone can achieve positive change and we need positive thinkers to create a centre of excellence for young people.

Clayfields House is a secure children’s home which has been recently judged as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. The Centre provides an intensive service to young people who are vulnerable, at risk to themselves or others, and/or placed in secure accommodation due to offending behaviour. We work with males and females aged between 10 - 18 and we need to recruit staff who want the rich rewards of working with some of the most demanding but rewarding young people in the UK.

Situated in Stapleford Nottinghamshire, just a few miles from the M1 we are easy to reach.

As an experienced Residential Child Care Social Worker wanting to develop leadership and management skills, you will help the care leadership team manage one of our living units. The ability to support staff delivering high quality primary care and individual plans through supervision and effective management of shifts is crucial for this role. Able to manage a variable work load, you will have a personal commitment to the welfare of young people in crisis and the skills to assist them in planning their future lives. This role involves working on a shift basis and involves senior sleep in duties. For informal discussions about the posts please contact Paul Thomas (Head of Care & Safeguarding) or the Duty Manager on 0115 917 0010.

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