People matter

We want CHAS to be one of the best places to work. That’s why we create a working environment where our employees can thrive through positive and fulfilling experiences. We understand that life has its ups and downs and if we are to provide unwavering support for our children and families, we need to do this for every one of our people too. We do this by having regular check-ins and offering a range of Wellbeing support to help our people be at their best.

Guided by values

Our values guide our behaviours and how we interact with each other and with children and families, partners, supporters and anyone else who might engage with us.

They are the principles and behaviours to which we hold ourselves accountable and remind us of what we are willing to uphold and not willing to compromise.

Time is precious

We help children and families make the most of their time together, no matter how short. We value and respect each other, our time and contributions.

We are courageous

Children and families motivate us in our unwavering commitment to deliver exceptional care based on choice.

With love and compassion

We care for children and families, and all those who make our work possible. Love, dignity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do.

We play as one team

Children learn through play, and we’re inspired by them. Together, we make extraordinary things happen every day.

With people being at the heart of all we do, we want to champion equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) at CHAS through our EDI Strategy. We also offer both staff and volunteers the opportunity to join any of our networking groups, or set up their own.

These groups provide a sense of community in shared experiences and give members a chance to link up with others to chat and/or get involved in relevant ongoing EDI work at CHAS.
