Help provide a warm, comfortable home by maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment.
Work with the wider system of professionals for each child, and with children's families and communities of origin to sustain links and understand past problems.
Who are we looking for?
In the role, we want Bank colleagues who are nurturing and caring, honest and reliable. People who are positive role models for our children and young people, who can bring fun, laughter, and activities to encourage and form positive relationships with children and young people.
