Our homes

At Anchor, every role makes a difference. Join a team where you’ll be valued, trained, and inspired every day.

Our Homes

Our homes provide safety, stability and a real sense of belonging. With comfortable bedrooms, shared spaces and supportive daily routines, young people can settle quickly and feel at home.

Set in beautiful rural locations, our large, characterful homes are designed to feel like home — never institutional.

At Anchor, we provide a safe, stable and nurturing environment for young people who have faced significant challenges early in life. Many join us after multiple placements, time in secure settings or long periods of being disconnected from education, family and support systems.

About Anchor

Our Homes

We create nurturing, stable environments where young people can build confidence and independence.

From the moment a young person walks through our doors, they are welcomed into warm, calm homes. Our team supports them every step of the way on their journey toward independence and a successful life beyond care.
