Lead a children's home where aspirations are realised

Become part of a family

As the UK’s leading children’s home provider, based on Ofsted judgements, we are proud to be able to offer every child a home environment that will give them the stability, support and encouragement they need to succeed.

You’re not just joining a home, you’re becoming part of a family.  Our children’s homes work in tandem with our Witherslack Group schools and our dedicated Clinical Services Team. We all work together; supporting, encouraging and reflecting, to ensure every child and young person thrives with us.

All of our young people attend one of our sector-leading schools with state-of-the-art facilities and high staffing ratios, which ensure that every young person receives the support they require to flourish, in whichever way they learn best.

The home managers formula in creating a home

Our Children’s Home Managers work with their teams to provide nurturing environments that young people can call ’home.’ They develop and maintain trusting relationships and provide routines, life experiences and unwavering support that help young people to be ambitious and step forward with confidence into the world as young adults. Press play to watch our managers share their motivation and how moments of magic provide them with a real sense of pride, and find out their formulas in creating homes where young people can thrive.

"The Leadership and Management apprenticeship has been a valuable learning opportunity. It has supported me to develop my knowledge and skills alongside encouraging me to do further research into theories and journals."
