We strive to provide the children we support with high standards of care. We work in partnership with parents to help the children achieve their full potential. This includes accompanying the children on visits out into the community to gain social experiences.
We are looking for staff that are able to be flexible, we work around the needs of the families and the children which means we need staff who can flex their hours to start early, finish late and work overnight too.

We hold a unique position in the Stockport community as the provider of healthcare and we are one of its largest employers.
We believe that the best organisations are those that reflect the communities they serve. We are therefore seeking to improve the diversity of our workforce to make it truly representative of our local population.
We actively encourage applications irrespective of race, age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion or belief, marriage & civil partnership, or pregnancy or maternity. Recognising those communities that are underrepresented within our workforce, we would particularly welcome applications from you.

We recognise that flexible working is important. We take requests for flexible working seriously, consider any request we receive and try to work with you, so we can explore if your request may fit with the needs of the service.
