Work in one of our Caring EBD Homes
Everyone deserves a place to call home - whether that's a place to call your own or somewhere to get safety, stability and support. We work with children, young people and adults to build a happy future.
We're looking for experienced residential social care workers to support the leadership of our children's residential homes across Greater Manchester. You'll be joining our children and families team, we are driven by our values and desire to see meaningful change. The people we support really are at the heart of everything we do and we're proud to be positive role models for them.
Taking on a new role in the middle of a pandemic can seem daunting but you'll be joining an incredible team of like-minded peers.
Together we'll work hard, laugh a lot but most importantly we'll support each other. Take a look at our current vaccancies below:

Emotional and behavioural disorders
A number of our residential homes and short break services provide support to children/young people with emotional and behavioural disorders.
In our homes we provide a safe and therapeutic living environment, providing intensive support for children/young people offering higher staffing levels with one to one care. Our support enables children/young people, through intensive one to one time and a nurturing approach, to develop the life skills required to live within a family or small group environment and to navigate the steps towards living more independently.
Clinical Psychology Service
The Together Trust’s Clinical Psychology LAC Service supports these homes and has a highly specialist Clinical Psychologist who will support the needs of the young people, if required. The Clinical Psychologist provides ongoing consultation, support and supervision to staff and can draw on a range of other specialist services within the Together Trust as required.
The staff team at Ventnor and Norvent work closely with the LAC Clinical Psychologist. This enables the staff to respond quickly when there has been a deterioration in presentation, emotional wellbeing or mental health of the child/young person.
The specialist LAC Clinical Psychologist attends the home regularly to offer training and support to the staff team.
