As a new and growing organisation, we understand that having the right people working for us is the biggest factor in our success. Our staff are our heart; they not only represent our values but have the biggest impact on our children. This means we have to make sure that anyone working in our homes is the right person. We know our job is to invest in the right people and make sure they feel developed, valued, supported and well trained. In return, our employees make us proud every day with their resilience, commitment and dedication.

Though we truly believe caring for children is one of the most rewarding and amazing jobs there can be, we also know that it can be difficult, tiring and hard!

In order to allow our staff to give our children the highest level of care, our promise to staff is:

  • You will receive a good quality induction into the home
  • You will receive high value training
  • We are committed to the development of our staff, allowing them to progress within our organisation
  • You will receive regular support and supervision which will hold your emotional wellbeing at the centre
  • We will listen to you and understand your day to day experiences
  • We will make decisions that are right for the children we care for
Careers at Lasting Threads

Thinking about joining us? Here's what people usually ask.

You ask

So, are you hiring?

We answer

Usually, yes. We're always looking for kind, resilient people to join our homes — care workers are the heart of everything we do.

You ask

What are your care workers actually like?

We answer

Patient, warm, and trained to support children through trauma with consistency and genuine affection. The kind of people you'd want looking after your own family.

You ask

Do I need experience working in care already?

We answer

Not necessarily. We look for kindness and resilience first, and give proper training on top — safer recruitment checks, trauma-informed practice, and ongoing support once you're in post.

You ask

What kind of support do staff get day to day?

We answer

All our staff receive regular training, supervision and access to therapy, whether that is to support them in their personal life or to help them process their feelings about work. Well-supported staff = well-supported children.

You ask

Do you have opportunities for progression?

We answer

Yes. Our ethos is 'grow our own' – we are committed to developing our staff to become our future leaders.

You ask

What's a typical day like?

We answer

Less “shift work”, more everyday life — school runs, home-cooked meals, homework, and the ordinary moments that make a house feel like home. That's where most of the good work actually happens.
