Supporting our team to realise their professional ambitions is important to us. Whilst the current opportunity is predominantly for school services, with the support of our Services Team, there is potential for us to support your personal development into other clinical areas.

At Chiltern we recognise the different strengths within our team. We provide an environment where people can take charge of the work they do and make informed decisions using professional judgement and life experience, alongside peer support. We’re welcoming, inclusive, and have worked hard to create a positive environment that we are proud of.

Chiltern is employee-owned and operates under a self-managing model.  You can read more about this and our organisation's journey and evolution, here.
