The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to the home’s development, policies, staffing structure and culture ahead of opening, with the potential to build and lead a high-performing team. To apply, please send your CV along with a brief covering letter outlining your relevant residential childcare experience, qualifications and why you are interested in the role.
