Comments From the Teams

“This is the first company of its kind that I have worked for where you can genuinely see how much the young people placed here are the priority and absolute centre of everything we do which is so refreshing to witness. The young people I have worked with love and praise their placements, and the care within each home is very much centred to each specific young person.”

“Staff within the company all share the same vision for wanting to provide the best possible care, opportunities, and outcomes for all the young people we look after, and regularly go the extra mile to make sure every shift is as positive as possible. This makes for such an enjoyable working atmosphere, and managers are really supportive and approachable.”

“At first I was only going to join Active Ark as a temporary job role until I had finished studying, however after seeing and experiencing the amazing work and care provided here, and never seeing such levels of commitment to placements anywhere else, I can now see myself staying at Active Ark for the foreseeable future.”

“I feel honoured and grateful that I can be part of this amazing company, and the experiences we provide for our young people.”

“I am a new employee of Active Ark. However in the short space of time I have been employed with Active Ark, the work and ethos I have seen displayed within the company has truly been remarkable.”
