Our Story

Over Thirty Years of Dedication to Specialist Care & Therapeutic Support.

Genesis CTE Ltd was founded with a profound vision: to bridge the gap between social care and clinical therapeutic practice. What began as a single home in the heart of Gloucestershire has grown into a leading regional provider, operating a network of therapeutic residential settings and specialist educational provisions across England and Wales.

Today, more than 170 colleagues care for children across Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Pembrokeshire, in six small, family-style homes in the countryside and three specialist SEND and SEMH schools. Our team brings together qualified residential care workers, nurses, specialist psychologists and teachers, all working together around each child.

Our approach is trauma-informed, with specialist understanding of attachment, trauma and risk-taking behaviours. Each child's care is shaped around them, and learning sits naturally alongside everyday life at home. We're here to support young children, adolescents and young adults with social, psychological, behavioural and mental health difficulties, and to help them grow into secure, happy adults.

Genesis CTE is dedicated to making a real and lasting difference to the lives of some of our most vulnerable and disadvantaged children. Recognising difference. Creating memories. Enhancing lives. These are the cornerstones of our commitment to children and young people. No matter how big or small the goal, our aim must always be to support and promote our children and young people to be the best version of themselves possible.
