Nurture Belonging. Empower Growth. Help Children Flourish.
We are incredibly ambitious for the children and young people of Southwark - are you?
It's an exciting time to join Southwark Council as we prepare to open our very first children's home. We believe that, wherever possible, children should grow up within the borough they are connected to - close to the important people in their lives, such as family and friends. This belief has been a key driver in developing our own children's residential service right here in Southwark.
Our Vision
We aim to transform the lives of our children by developing meaningful, nurturing relationships, consistently delivering high-quality, personalised care and enabling every child to flourish.
About the Role

We want you to have a clear understanding of what we expect from you, and how we will support you as a valued member of our team. We have a strong commitment to excellence and look forward to working together to achieve it.
About You
We are looking for candidates with a strong commitment to making a positive impact on children and young people's lives. You should have relevant childcare qualifications or be willing to obtain them, a good understanding of child development, safeguarding, and person-centred care.
