You can become a Child and Youth Care Worker – we welcome applicants of all ages and life experiences.
Applications are now open for our 12-month training programme, which provides full training for those wanting to start a rewarding career in child and youth care. Whether you are looking for a new job or a complete career change, you can transfer your existing skills into motivating young people to think positively. As a Trainee, you’ll spend three days each week in on-the-job training within our residential children’s houses, one day in the classroom, and one day studying independently.
Join our current staff who began as Trainees and have since qualified as Child and Youth Care Workers. Many have progressed to become Senior Practitioners, Service Managers and Operations Managers.
Meet Julie Ann who always wanted a career working with kids. Once her own children grew up, she applied to Career Start at age 50. Julie Ann left retail to start a new job, pursuing her lifelong dream of helping children.

Lola changed careers from the hospitality industry, and with support from Kibble, is now an Acting Operations Manager. Her story is an example of the rewarding career you can have if you match our drive to help young people.
If you want to inspire children to reach their potential, Lola encourages you to apply as she says: “The essential requirement is the aspiration to support young people and provide them with a better chance at life – if you have that, Kibble will work with you to make sure you have the skills and experience to become the best carer possible.”
