The Children’s Home Company provides registered children’s homes for young people experiencing social and emotional difficulties who need a stable, safe place to live. Its approach centres on high-quality care, helping children feel secure, enjoy activities and work towards their potential. The company says its staff are valued, supported and highly skilled, with an emphasis on building caring, dependable relationships that children can rely on.

The organisation accepts referrals and aims to arrange appropriate support for each child from the outset. It treats referrals with urgency and can consider emergency referrals; families and professionals are invited to contact the team to discuss a child’s needs. The company also works with experienced, accredited psychologists and psychological therapists so that care is trauma-informed, needs-led and responsive. Its homes seek to work collaboratively with children’s families and wider support networks.

The Children’s Home Company recruits residential care workers, senior residential support workers, deputy managers and registered managers. Information about each home’s Statement of Purpose is available on request.
