Are you playful and accepting, can you show curiosity and empathy?

If you can then you have something really special to offer our Children living in Children's Homes.

If trauma brings resilience, then our Children are superheroes - they deserve the best; the best homes, the best help, the best opportunities, and children tell us over and over again, it's the staff that matter.

We believe that we need the right people, with the right commitment, skills, tenacity, imagination, and energy in order to offer the best to our children.

To do this you will be offered high quality support, training, guidance, and development and be part of a motivated and ambitious team.

Hull City Council has been on a journey of improvement and has become a leading provider of Children's Homes. We are committed to developing nurturing, high quality homes where children can thrive and achieve their next steps.

If you want to be part of Hull's journey and make a real difference to children, now is great time to join, we have an opportunity for a Care Officer to join our Childrens Homes team.
