Job description

Changing children's lives for the better

Make a difference. Feel rewarded. Be the change.

We offer a whole host of career opportunities across our residential care, education and therapeutic services for 6 to 18 year olds from diverse backgrounds who have encountered a range of adverse childhood experiences.

The young people we support often have mental and developmental diagnoses which impact their daily functioning. To help a young person manage these challenges we make every interaction with them therapeutic in nature.

So, whether you join us as a residential care worker, teacher, adventurer, or you’re part of the support team you’ll be making a big difference to a young person’s life.

What can we offer you?

We work hard, but we also know you have a family, friends, hobbies, and a life outside the office. That’s why we offer a great benefits package, not just a competitive salary.

1. Be bold, fun, kind and curious
2. Make a difference
3. Charity initiatives
4. Equality, diversity and inclusion
5. ESG & sustainability focused
