Our approach starts with the key worker, who forms a strong, trusting bond with the child. This relationship is essential for the child's development and continues throughout their care.

We offer personalized care, education, and treatment led by a team of trained professionals, helping children manage their emotions and behaviours in a safe, supportive environment.

This will be our 5th children's home with another 2 planned for the end of 2025 early 2026.

Each children's home has their own permanent on-site therapist and a pool car.

Job overview:

A caring and supportive attitude is essential for this role, and we welcome people that have experience with either adults or children with disabilities with associated behaviours that challenge.
