Working at Horizon Care & Education
Horizon Care and Education Group provide children’s homes, specialist education and supported accommodation across England, with the aim of supporting young people to flourish and thrive regardless of the challenges they have faced.
Since operations began in 2007, Horizon has grown to a team of more than 1,000 colleagues who work tirelessly to offer the best services and support for those children and young people within our care. From our teaching staff to our residential workers; our psychologists through to our administrative functions – diversity is a strength, and we celebrate the differences amongst our colleagues and the wide breadth of personal experience and skills that it brings.
Horizon support more than 800 children and young people throughout our different settings – each carefully designed with a therapeutic approach to provide the highest quality of service, including:
10 schools that cater to the individual needs of more than 300 children with a range of difficulties who require specialist support and education.
45 residential children’s homes that provide a nurturing, caring and therapeutic environment for over 100 children
330 placements and outreach provisions for our supported accommodation service that provides the next steps to independence for young people aged 18-24.
An alternative learning provision (HEAL) designed to ensure that no young person misses out on an education, offering 1:1 support that should help young people back into education or training.
