If trauma brings resilience, then our Children are superheroes - they deserve the best; the best homes, the best help, the best opportunities, and children tell us over and over again, it's the staff that matter.



We believe that we need the right people, with the right commitment, skills, tenacity, imagination, and energy in order to offer the best to our children. To do this you will be offered high quality support, training, guidance, and development and be part of a motivated and ambitious team.

The Council have a variety of models of homes in Hull dependent on the needs of the young people we are looking after. These homes are part of our innovative journey in Hull, to ensure that our homes offer children all the care they need in the city they are from. We are looking for an aspiring Registered Manager to lead 2 of our homes in Hull.



You must have a Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare or equivalent, and be prepared to achieve a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (or equivalent) within 36 months of appointment.
