Careers

At Davis Homes, our mission goes beyond providing guidance and support for children and young people in long-term residential care.

We are equally committed to fostering the growth and development of our staff, ensuring they thrive and advance in their careers.

Caring for children up to 18 years old, we offer nurturing environments where they can heal and grow. Many of the young people in our care face emotional and behavioural challenges.

To continue delivering the highest standard of care, we are seeking individuals with the following qualities:

Resilience

A kind and compassionate nature

A growth mindset

The ability to set clear boundaries

A commitment to earning a Level 3 Diploma qualification

If you are passionate about making a real difference in the lives of children and young people, we invite you to apply. We are looking for caring individuals who can step into a “professional parent” role, providing a safe, consistent, and supportive environment where children can flourish and reach their full potential.
