Have a quick read of one of our staff testimonials:

" I have been a part of the New Horizons family for around 2 years, it has been an incredible journey for myself as I started working as a residential support worker at The Meadows, progressing to team leader and I have recently progressed to deputy manager, this has happened in a short space of time, however, the training, guidance and support I have received from management and my team has progressed me to where I am today.

When I started at the Meadows, I had no experience with supporting children and young people in a residential setting, I have now gained a wealth of knowledge and have been able to support our young people effectively to support their needs ensuring relevant training is covered to provide the young people with outstanding care. I have recently completed my NVQ Level 4 which was a challenge however with the support from management I have been able to achieve this.

New Horizons is more than just a company that supports young people, it provides a home from home feel that provides the young people with a high level of care, they take into account the staff team and ensure their wellbeing is taken into consideration, a high level of support is provided to the staff team in terms of providing them with an open approach to ensure their wishes and feelings are heard.

I am happy to be a part of the New Horizons family and looking forward to my future "
