- You will create timetables, setting boundaries and expectations for the young people. Consistency and organisation skills are key.

- **Generous budgets devoted to children** - Each of our homes are given substantial investment to allow for all children to really experience a childhood. This includes holidays abroad, recreational activities, and special events.
- **Direct therapeutic work with children - **We aim to provide all children with therapy, driven by industry leading psychologists and practise. This will include therapeutic training for all staff.
- **Bespoke systems **- You’ll spend more time working directly with children rather than duplicating reports and paperwork with our bespoke, time saving incident reporting system.
- **Detailed and supportive training **- We give you a ‘Skills to Care’ induction. All new starters complete 2 separate weeks of classroom-based training as well as a week of shadow shifts to best prepare you for your new role.
