WHY Positive Outcomes?

The answer is, that we believe that we are different from other employers and “can” offer our employees a true opportunity to develop and succeed, with our full support. Your commitment will be your reward. We want everyone to have aspirations for our young people, but to also have aspirations for themselves.

Positive Outcomes are seeking the best people to care for our young people. We only want to hear from you if you are genuinely enthusiastic about working for an organisation where our children and young people are our priority. We hear so many stories about residential staff who feel that they are not respected or appreciated. We always aim to be better and we want every one of our staff to feel like they have the opportunity to develop within our organisation.

We recognise that everyone has to start their career somewhere. We can provide opportunities for enthusiastic and child focused individuals with no previous experience in the role.

The only thing that we ask is that you convince us that this is a career path you want to go down. In return, we will provide you with all necessary training & Support and enrol you onto the Level 4 Diploma in Residential Childcare.
