About Us
We are a growing, forward-thinking children’s residential care organisation with homes across the Southwest, London, and a brand-new multi-home provision in Durham. Our mission is clear: to help children aged 7–17 rebuild trust, confidence, and hope.
We work with young people who have experienced loss, instability, or trauma. Rather than defining them by their past, we support them to realise their potential. Using trauma-informed, PACE-based practice, we create warm, stable homes where children feel safe, valued, and empowered to grow. This is meaningful work. This is change you can see happen.
Benefits & Perks
At 360 CRS, we prioritise the well-being of those who care for others.
