Situated in Stapleford Nottingham, just a few miles from the M1 we are easy to reach.

Join us to be part of a team working to meet the complex needs of young people at the centre. Your role will involve enrichment activities and day to day life skills with the young people in one of our three house units accommodating up to six young people. You will be a team player, more interested in solutions than problems, and resilient enough to act as an anchor to young people who need safety, contentment and a new sense of direction in life.
