Christopher, Director
Their future is in our hands.
Our ultimate aim is for families to leave our services having had fair opportunity, free from judgment and armed with tools to thrive - regardless of the outcome.
Every child that comes to us deserves them the best start in life so for that reason we:
Assess parents using a rigorous, measurable framework resulting in an evidence-based report looking at key aspects of parenting capacity.
Support families around the clock with her care and routines to ensure the baby is safe and she feels independent but supported.
Empower families with tools to thrive, with encouragement to take part in tailored sessional work themed around their child and parenting but also life outside of parenting in areas such as resilience, independence, health, mental health, drug and alcohol and healthy relationships.
Opportunities
We have a number of positions available to fill immediately as well as others in the pipeline so if you aren’t actively looking but would like to be considered for future opportunities we would still love to hear from you.
