About Vantage
Specialist care, clinical understanding and a belief that childhood should still have room for enjoyment, friendships and ambition.
Our team
Good care depends on people who know the child, notice when something changes and take time to listen. Our teams bring together residential care, clinical and education experience.
Our Responsible Individual, Sarah Vale, works with our Registered Managers and staff to oversee care, safeguarding and compliance across our homes.
Staff receive induction, therapeutic training and ongoing supervision. Omega Life Clinical provides therapeutic guidance. Our Head of Education, a former Virtual School Headteacher with more than 30 years’ experience supporting looked-after children, helps secure suitable education and challenges delays.
A place called home
Our homes are places to spend time together, have friends round, try a recipe or find a quiet spot. Children can make their bedrooms their own and help decide what happens in the home.
These everyday choices sit alongside the specialist care and support each child needs.
Our values
HEARTS keeps us focused on the whole child. Alongside care and safeguarding, there must be room for happiness, learning, relationships and hopes for the future.
Health, Happiness, Home
A bedroom that feels like theirs, adults who know them, and everyday routines they can rely on. We want children to feel at home here.
Education, Enjoyment
Finding an interest, trying something new and enjoying being a child. We make room for music, creativity, sport and everyday adventures, alongside support with education.
Achievement, Aspirations
Progress looks different for every child. We recognise personal milestones, celebrate achievements and take their ambitions seriously.
Relationships, Rights
Children need adults who listen and follow through. We help them understand their rights, have a say in decisions and maintain the relationships that matter to them.
Therapeutic Care, Training
Understanding a child’s experiences shapes how we respond each day. Clinical guidance, training and reflection help our staff put that understanding into practice.
Safety, Security
Consistent adults, clear boundaries and thoughtful planning help children feel secure and gradually build independence.
