Welcome

Thank you for your interest in joining St Christopher’s as our next Chief Operating Officer.   

St Christopher’s has been supporting young people for more than 150 years and helping them to thrive. We provide quality children’s homes, supported accommodation and fostering services, which continue to benefit from our extensive experience, commitment and passion. We have evolved and extended our therapeutic, life skills and educational support in order to help young people reach their full potential and create brighter futures for themselves.

Whilst an established charity, we have not stood still and have continued to innovate and elevate our services in line with the needs of the young people, commissioners and communities we support. Most recently this includes the ground breaking London Accommodation Pathfinder homes, and highly impactful work with young people and their families who are on the edge of care.

Alongside sector-led pressures, the backdrop of the pandemic and continued global economic uncertainty continues to be tough to navigate, but we remain committed to having a lasting impact on those that need our support and care, adapting our approach as necessary.

Our belief and application of our Philosophy of Care remains the cornerstone of our approach. Our practice focusses on the strengths and personalities of the young people that we support, whilst championing compassionate understanding of their experiences in all that we do.

St Christopher’s works alongside our children and young people to support their development, help grow their confidence and reach their full potential. Their welfare and voices are woven into everything we do.
