Make a Real Difference. Build a Brighter Future.

At Priority Childcare, we support young people who have experienced childhood trauma or struggle with their mental health. Our goal is simple: to provide a safe, stable home where children can heal, grow, and thrive.

Here’s what one of our Support Workers had to say about working here:

“I value working here because it’s such a supportive and collaborative environment. Every team member is committed to delivering excellent care. The children make this role so rewarding—their individuality and progress give real purpose to my work.”

And the children feel it too:

“I like living here because I can be myself. Staff support me in my good moments and my low moments—no matter what.”

Able to work flexible shifts, including weekends and sleep-ins.
