Look no further! We have a fantastic opportunity for a Deputy Residential Homes Manager to join our friendly, supportive team at Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council.

What our young people say: “The service and the care home manager have been so supportive and have helped me build my confidence and turn my life around, and I’m now hoping to go to university. Living in the home has been like being part of a family, and the neighbors treat us like family.”

Ofsted comments: “It’s clear the children in this home are loved” and “Children love living here and do not want to leave!”

Other professionals say: “The homes are ‘brilliant’, the staff are ‘child-centred’. It is evident how much the children are cared for, and the staff are extremely proud of their achievements.”
