At Inguz Care, the heart of any home is the people within it. Our team brings together dedicated, trauma-informed professionals who share one purpose: to create a safe, nurturing, and stable environment where every young person feels seen, supported, and valued.
We’re assembling a warm, steady, and curious team who approach each day with compassion, consistency, and respect — qualities that help children build trust and begin to heal.
Our leadership team combines strong safeguarding knowledge with a deeply human approach — ensuring every decision begins with the question: “What does this mean for the child?”

We work closely with external/ independant providers who can offer extended clinical assessment pathways and have a dedicated psychologist (Dr. Hayley Knagg), CBT-registered therapist (Siobhan Barfoot), and mental health nurse (Richard Barfoot) within Inguz Care to ensure every young person receives the right support at the right time.
This includes:
Our multidisciplinary approach ensures that children’s emotional, physical, and social needs are met holistically, with seamless support between the home and clinical teams.
If you’re passionate about making a difference and believe in care that is relational, reflective, and rooted in kindness, we’d love to hear from you. We look for people who are patient, resilient, and curious — those who can stay calm under pressure, celebrate progress, and bring a sense of hope to everyday moments.
