Why Esland?
We’re passionate about changing children’s lives for the better by providing outstanding therapeutic care. Our Morecambe home is a solo service, giving one young person the care, stability, and support they need to thrive. You won’t just be joining a team—you’ll be joining a community that values you as much as the children we care for.

Your Role & Hours:
You’ll work 2 days on, 4 days off (including sleep nights), giving you plenty of time to recharge. We’re a year-round service, but your rota will be planned in advance, so you’ll know exactly when you’re working.
Pay: up to £36,000 a year (depending on qualifications), with sleeps paid in addition to this and extra pay for overtime.
We work with children and young people who need therapeutic placements in a solo service — a smaller, more personal setting where they can really feel at home. You’ll support them with everyday life skills, education, social confidence, and fun experiences that help them believe in themselves.
