Job description

Changing children's lives for the better

Make a difference. Feel rewarded. Be the change.

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

Many of the young people we support have mental and developmental diagnoses impacting their daily functioning. To help them manage these challenges, we make every interaction therapeutic in nature.

Whether you join us as a residential care worker, teacher, adventurer, or as 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-tracked progression opportunities. We also offer well-being benefits, access to our holiday home for breaks, 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 recognize the importance of work-life balance. That’s why we provide a comprehensive benefits package alongside a competitive salary.

• Opportunities across 5 independent SEND schools (including Esland online school)

Be bold, fun, kind, and curious. Make a difference. Participate in charity initiatives. Embrace equality, diversity, and inclusion. Focus on ESG and sustainability.

“Having worked in residential care for several years, I have found Esland to be a great company, really focusing on the children and supporting staff, which mattered most to me. I appreciate that you meet many staff and managers, making you feel part of a team. The induction training was excellent, and training continues once you start in the home. One of the best companies I have worked for.”
