Breakaway is an important part of our children’s service providing short-term respite care for children and young people with a range of learning disabilities. Some of the children that use the service have associated physical and emotional difficulties.

By providing practical care and support within a stimulating environment, we aim to meet the individual needs of children and young people. Joining our established and dedicated staff team, you’ll have experience of working with children and young people and the ability to communicate effectively.

Flexibility is key as you’ll be required to work shifts plus weekends, bank holidays and sleeping-in duties. In return, we offer regular supervision and great training opportunities.

As we regularly have vacancies for this post we will accept applications / CVs at any time.

Shortlisting and interviews will take place on an ‘as and when basis’.
