Newcombe Lodge is a large detached house in the village of Bussage, in Gloucestershire. Bussage has easy access to both the M4 and M5 motorways and the town offers good local facilities as well as easy access to the beautiful Stroud Valleys and Cotswolds.

This is a perfect opportunity for someone who has worked in Childrens Residential care before OR someone who thinks they have what it takes!

If you have a passion for working with young people to better their lives, we also want to hear from you.

Due to limits on sponsorship allocations, we are not currently in a position to offer sponsorship to new candidates for these roles, this remains under review.

Please apply above and one of our team will be in touch
