Ensuring a person-centred approach and high levels of engagement are delivered within the homes through staff passion and commitment to provide outstanding quality of care.

Experience of rota management, supervising, supporting and leading a small staff team is desirable.

The college offers both 38 and 52 week residential placements, with a holistic approach from our education, care, clinical and support teams to those with additional and complex needs including Autism and Asperger's.

Requirements for an Enhanced DBS and reference checking will be undertaken in line with government regulations and safer recruitment best practice. Whilst we endeavour to keep the recruitment process as short as possible due to the nature of these important checks it may extend the processing time. All young people are equally entitled to have their needs met in a fair and balanced way. Cambian Group employees are responsible for promoting equal opportunities for all and for challenging any behaviour or practice which discriminates against any young person or colleague on the grounds of race, religion, disability, age, gender, sexual orientation or any other perceived difference.
