Job description

Changing children's lives for the better

Make a difference. Feel rewarded. Be the change.

We offer a variety of career opportunities across residential care, education, and therapeutic services for 6 to 18-year-olds from diverse backgrounds who have encountered adverse childhood experiences, including complex trauma, foster placement breakdowns, and difficulties in engaging with education.

Many young people we support have mental and developmental diagnoses affecting their daily functioning. We aim to make every interaction therapeutic to help them manage these challenges.

Whether you join us as a residential care worker, teacher, adventurer, or part of the support team, you’ll be making a significant difference in a young person’s life.

There are many reasons to join us, from competitive pay to fast-track progression opportunities. We also offer well-being benefits, access to our holiday home, a warm family-like work environment, and a company culture focused on fun.

We lead with purpose. Our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments are central to shaping the future of social care and education.

What can we offer you?

We work hard, but we also recognize the importance of family, friends, hobbies, and personal time. That’s why we provide a comprehensive benefits package alongside a competitive salary.

• 5 independent SEND schools (including Esland online school)

• Be bold, fun, kind, and curious

• Make a difference

• Charity initiatives

• Commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion

• Focus on ESG & sustainability
