At New Chapters, our mission is to provide every child with a foundation built on love, care, compassion, and sturdiness -- a safe and nurturing home where they are truly seen, heard, and valued.

We believe that every child deserves not only safety, but the chance to thrive. By embracing their individual needs, and encouraging their interests and passions, we support children with us to take confident steps toward a new future filled with possibility.

This is more than just care -- it is a privilege. Each moment we share with a child is a chance to empower them to feel fulfilled, resilient, and ready to shape a life they are proud of.

If you want to make a genuine difference to children's lives, then we want you.

We offer a home to up to 3 children with learning disabilities such as autism, and provide them with a safe, nurturing home that celebrates them for who they are. Their childhood should be filled with joy, discovery and a sense of belonging, which will give them the foundation to lead a life with confidence, resilience and strength.

Experience of helping children with learning disabilities, either in a paid role, voluntary or through personal experience, is preferred but not essential.

A values-led culture that supports your growth and wellbeing. The chance to make a lasting impact -- on children, colleagues, and the wider organisation.
