Oh, hi! Who are you? Are you the next captain of Harris House? If youre reading this, then I guess youre thinking about coming to live with us well, not live with us, but, you know, be in charge (the nice kind of in charge). The adults here say theyre looking for someone new to help look after me and the other kids. I dont know when that will be, but I really hope its soon. Im hoping youre kind, calm, and actually listen. Like, really listen. I hope you like football (Man United, obviously), silly jokes, and maybe even reading letters now and then. I just want someone who makes me feel safe, like I matter, and doesnt give up on me when things get hard. Sometimes I have big feelings. Like really big. And I dont always know how to say what Im thinking or feeling. It can come out a bit messy. But thats okay, right? Thats why we need a big, proper grown-up like you to help me through those days, and help the other staff too, so we all work together. Youll help me stick to my routines, cheer me on when I do good stuff, and support me when I mess up a bit. Some days I want to go out for long walks, kick a football around, or hang with my mates. Other days, I just want to curl up with snacks and watch Netflix. I love Sunday roasts (even if its not Sunday), and I like my ham sarnies with no crusts. I dont always do my homework or tidy my room but to be honest, Ive seen some of the adults forget stuff too (dont tell them I said that!). What I need is someone who gets it. Someone who knows kids like me sometimes need a second (or third) chance, and someone who reminds me of the good stuff about myself when I forget. If you think youre patient, funny, and brave enough to be our next big boss (but in a kind way), then please apply to Homes2Inspire. Come and be part of our home. Ill be waiting.
