Getting to work from Tewkesbury

Tewkesbury sits well for our homes, with a short run out of town into the countryside rather than into Gloucester or Cheltenham traffic.

A licence, not your own car on shiftYou drive yourself to work. Once you are there, school runs and days out are in the home's own cars.
Shifts you can plan aroundEarly, late and weekend shifts on a rolling rota published in advance, so your own commitments fit around work.
Out of town, not into itYour drive heads away from the busy routes into Gloucester and Cheltenham, which makes early starts easier.

Small homes, not a ward

A handful of young people in each home, so you know every one of them properly and they know you.

No sleep-ins for care workers

Half your childcare costs back, up to £5,000 a year, and a monthly mileage supplement.

Questions from Tewkesbury applicants

Can I get to work by bus from Tewkesbury?

Not reliably. Our homes are rural and shifts start early, so you need a full UK manual driving licence and a way to get there. We pay a monthly mileage supplement towards the drive.

Do I need experience of working with children?

No. Many of our team came from adult care, schools, the forces or retail. We fund your Level 3 and more.
