About Flourish


We are a small but growing company with new homes opening this year which will provide progression opportunities for the right person.

We are passionate about making a positive change in children and young people's lives and we are committed to providing the highest quality Children's Homes with a stable, caring and holistic environment.

Enabling all those we support to develop, grow and ultimately succeed.


Our Homes and our children


This home is on the outskirts of Hereford and is arranged to accommodate three children aged who may have learning disabilities and/or Autism and/or challenging behaviours.

We are building a supportive and caring staff team to work following a holistic attachment focused approach.

Our children are incredible and will definitely keep you on your toes with no two days the same. Although it can be challenging at times, it can also be the most fun and rewarding job you will ever have A sense of humour is a must

Our children are with us for a variety of reasons and many will have experienced traumatic life events.

They need empathy, care, love, play and stability to help them flourish and move onto the next stage of their life, whether that is going home, independence, university or another placement.

_Can you help us to achieve all of this and more?_
