Compass Community is an independent social care provider with an excellent reputation for providing high quality and tailored packages of care to young people. Based in the Calderdale district, we have two independent residential homes with attached schools. Both schools can accommodate for up to 5 boys in the 12-17 age range.

You will preferably hold a Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care or equivalent although we will consider applications from candidates who can demonstrate the ability to achieve this qualification shortly after employment. The hours are to be worked on a shift basis to meet the needs of the business and require flexibility to include some evenings and weekends, on a rota basis including overnight duties. Compass Children's Homes will supply excellent support and professional supervision as well as regular training opportunities and the opportunity to undertake further qualifications. This exciting opportunity offers the right candidate the opportunity to work for an independent provider that is committed to staff development, staff retention and equality of opportunity. We are inviting applications from individuals who are experienced in working alongside young people and want to be part of an energetic team, committed to making a difference.
