_Home._
Our Epsom home has 4 beds, is fully detached and has free on-site parking for staff.

It will provide care and support for young people with emotional and behavioural challenges, as opposed to young people with additional needs or disabilities.

We want our homes to be exceptional for the children and young people we are entrusted to care for. It is what we strive to provide and what our children deserve.

Wherever possible we want our children and young people to live and stay safe locally in Surrey,to ensure that their voice and views are considered in decisions and that opportunities for their independence are maximised.

Our homes aim to be nurturing, fun and inspirational environments, where our young people feel safe to be themselves and can rely on us to guide, care, and support them to grow and thrive whatever their challenges.

Like all homes, no two days are the same, they throw up complex and challenging situations. There maybe swearing, shouting, and the occasional tear. But there will also be happiness, laughter, and smiles. There will be reward for hard work, determinationand resilience, knowing that you make a difference.
