About the Cambian Group

We are one of the largest providers of specialist education and behavioural health services for children in the UK.

Although our work embraces many specialist disciplines, we all have the same purpose: To enable all people in our care to achieve their personal best.

Requirements for DBS and reference checking will be undertaken in line with government regulations and safer recruitment best practice.

The Cambian Group are an equal opportunities employer.

Cambian will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. This check will be part of a safeguarding check, and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children. As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination, a person who will not be on the appointment panel will conduct the search and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.

Although The Cambian Group is a sponsored employer, we are currently unable to offer sponsorship at this time.
