Our Values

Take The Opportunity To Reshape A Child’s Future

This value represents the purpose of everybody’s role within Timeout. All our people regardless of role all contribute to reshaping a child’s future and it is crucial that we do not lose sight of that.

Create Trust Through Transparency

At Timeout our biggest asset is our people. To ensure that we are as effective as we can be, we need to develop and maintain strong relationships with the children and ourselves. This will not be achieved without gaining trust from each other.

Positive And Honest Behaviour

Promote positive and honest relationships through respectful communication.
Communication must be clear, respectfully delivered and solution focused.

Be Curious And Inquisitive

At Timeout, we are able to develop and innovate due to our inquisitiveness and daring to change. It is vital that we do not lose sight of this, as it provides the platform for innovation.

Take Every Chance To Learn

As a group of people wanting to change the future of children’s lives, we must hold a passion for learning and see opportunities to learn in everything that we do.

Be Creative, Passionate And Adventurous

To inspire children through the work that we do we must embed this value into everything that we do. It means to push the boundaries and limitations and not be afraid to make a mistake.

Gain Ownership Through Autonomy

In our work we need to have a leadership mentality and this is gained through working independently and self-belief.

Acknowledge And Celebrate Every Achievement

We need to recognise and celebrate achievements in all areas.

Be Prepared And Organised To Safeguard All

Our primary task at Timeout is to ensure that safeguarding is at the core of everything that we do.

What Our
People Say...

"I have worked for Timeout for 8 months and I love my new career. Every day is a different challenge but it is such a rewarding experience. The company cares about you and fully supports your journey with Timeout."

Therapeutic Carer

"I'm "new" here, having come back to work for Timeout after several years away gallivanting around Wales and France and as soon as I came back I realised how much I missed working here. The young people are lovely, if challenging at times, and the staff team is great too. I have made friends for life here. But the best thing about working in Timeout is the fact that you are making a real and positive difference in the lives of some vulnerable young people. THAT is what makes me come to work with a smile on my face."

Therapeutic Carer

"I chose to apply to Timeout as I liked the values and the ethos of the company and right from my first visit it was evident these underpin everything Timeout does. I like how varied the work at Timeout is and how everyone, regardless of their job role, wants to achieve the best for the children. The friendly and welcoming atmosphere makes everyday enjoyable even through the challenges"

Clinical Psychologist

"I love working for Timeout, it really feels as though i am part of something. Not only with the extremely rewarding work that they do, but the family feel through out the entire business.

Therapeutic Carer

Administrator

"I have been within Timeout for over three years now, which I have been supported and guided to work up within the company. Timeout have a great professional development platform which allows you to see clearly how to develop your skills, knowledge and work up through the company. I have found this extremely helpful and from using that as a guide I have developed from a Therapeutic Carer to Senior and now a Homes Manager. I feel Timeout is a fantastic company to work for and they hold good values which are fundamental within the care we provide for our children"

Senior Therapeutic Carer

"I have worked at Timeout for nearly 5 years. In that time I have been given opportunities and provided with support to progress within my career. Although it comes with its challenges, I enjoy coming to work and seeing the differences we are making to children’s life’s. I enjoy working for a family run business who have excellent values and are constantly aiming to improve"
