You will receive a monthly rota.

This is a 24-hour-a-day job, including Christmas, New Year, and all the holidays, but it is even more fun when you celebrate with the children!

The shifts consist of long hours and sleep-ins (which are essential), and the hours differ depending on which home you are based in.

You MUST be 21 due to Ofsted regulations.

Driving is essential due to locations of the homes.

No experience needed.
