Your Chapter

Your Chapter seeks to transform the lives of children and young people who have experienced complex trauma and abuse.

We are a specialist residential care and education provider supporting the most traumatised and vulnerable children and young people in our residential care homes across England and Wales. Our story is built upon a foundation of core values that weave through everything we do.

We work with high acuity children who local authorities often find the most challenging to find homes that are able to support them.

We offer a wraparound service with clinical, educational and therapeutic care practitioners all working together to meet the holistic needs of individual children. Every child placed with Your Chapter has access to our bespoke ‘Well Being for Life’ clinical programme and a separate DfE registered school.

Our residential children’s homes provide person-centred care that focuses on maximising independence, building everyday living skills and empowering young people to live as fulfilled lives as possible.

They provide a welcoming and supportive environment where young people can feel at home and continue to do the things that they enjoy, supporting them on their journey by offering a safe and secure home.

I’m proud that I’ve come to work for Your Chapter. When I hear the stories about the successes that we’re having with our children and I hear how much value the staff see in the company and working here, I’m proud to say I work here - Paul

Learning & Development

We truly believe that working with children is a skilled profession, and requires the highest levels of training and professional development.

We continue to invest heavily in developing both current and future managers, providing them with the skills to build great teams focused on delivering truly great care. Our employees say they feel trusted and respected by their manager and they feel confident in their leadership. Whatever your skills and expertise, we offer enough opportunities to last a career lifetime.

All staff receive a comprehensive induction which last two weeks. Depending on the role you have applied for their will be opportunities to undertake a range of additional training course relevant to your role. You will have regular supervisions and an annual appraisal, which will be a chance for you to discuss your learning and development needs.

Our staff receive regular clinical supervision and attend weekly multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meetings to ensure the focus remains on the children and improving outcomes. We use evidence-based practice and psychometric measures to track progress and outcomes over time enabling young people to develop, thrive and shine in their lives.

NVQ Funding

If you’re interested in professional development, we encourage you to discuss your goals with your manager, who can help identify the areas you’d like to focus on. Regular supervisions and appraisals will provide a platform to plan additional training, including options for NVQs and Diplomas.

DBS Checks

If you require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) we will refund the cost of applying for this.
