Joining The Home for Little Wanderers means joining a group of experts committed to giving children better, brighter lives.

The Home for Little Wanderers has been assisting vulnerable children and their families in creating stable lives and bright futures for more than 200 years. Numerous at-risk youths, aged one to 26, benefit from our more than twenty-five community-based and residential programmes. A large number of these kids have gone through trauma, abuse, neglect, or a broken home. We offer kids safe environments, enduring loving connections, and a sure road towards a better, brighter future as the nation’s oldest child welfare organisation.

Programme Overview

The Waltham House, the Home for Little Wanderers in Waltham, Massachusetts, is seeking an Overnight Residential Supervisor. One of only three residential group homes in the US, Waltham House is the first one created especially for LGBTQIA adolescents in New England. Its guiding ideas are that every kid should be able to live in a setting where they are treated with respect, feel safe, supported, and cared for by others.

For up to twelve gay, lesbian, bisexual, and/or transgender youth (ages 14–18), the group home offers a secure and nurturing living environment with round-the-clock assistance. Many of the young people at Waltham House have struggled because of their gender expression or sexual orientation, whether at home or while they were in placement. Their time at Waltham House helps them get ready for the next step in their plan, which could be moving in with their families again, finding a foster home, or becoming ready to live on their own.
