Homes that every child deserves
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.
Establishing and managing a children’s home that has the ability to make a real difference is a big responsibility and takes real leadership.
That’s why we need team leaders to support our registered managers and deputy managers to create a home that every child deserves – one full of activity, new experiences and, most importantly, fun and laughter.
Each and every one of our children’s homes are maintained and resourced to extremely high standards. Ranging in size from 3 to 9 beds, all bedrooms are en-suite, which means no long queues before school. You’ll have the vision and ambition to help us improve on these high standards so that we can continue to realise the best possible outcomes for our young people.
Create and witness moments of pure joy
Our Team Leaders provide positive experiences to young people and, along the way, witness moments of pure joy as they work with their teams to create an atmosphere full of cheer. In this short film, our Team Leaders provide an insight into their roles. Continuous support, training and teamwork form the foundation of their success, while their motivation and enthusiasm help transform the lives of young people, enabling them to achieve fantastic outcomes.

Our children’s homes work in tandem with our Witherslack Group schools and also 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 to ensure that every young person receives the attention they require to flourish, in whichever way they learn best.
