- Higher hopes Ltd provide therapeutic services to ‘looked after’ children and young people. We aim to provide a loving, safe and nurturing home focused on working with traumatised young people and create a positive future._

As a TCW you will be working with and supporting vulnerable young people aged between 8 and 18 years who have adverse childhood trauma, attachment disorders and are highly vulnerable to CSE.

Due to the history of our young ladies, behaviours can be challenging and unpredictable. You may experience verbal and physical aggression, destructive behaviours, absconding from the home and self-harm. We always have the child’s best interest at heart and ensure we support them in a way that works best for them. At times, if a young person is a risk to themselves or somebody else physical intervention is used as a last resort.
