What does nurture mean to you?

It means understanding and empathising with the perspectives and experiences of children and young people, and using that as the foundation of your interaction with them. Nurture is not about turning a blind eye to complex and challenging behaviour, it is about firmly but empathetically working with that student to improve their educational outcomes.

What do you enjoy about working at nurtureuk?

nurtureuk as an organisation truly embodies it’s vision and ethos, with a warm, welcoming and nurturing culture and I very much enjoy being a part of the team!
