The name Oakwood was chosen with purpose... Mighty oaks grow from small beginnings and blossom into something strong, resilient and beautiful. But people grow best when they are in community, like a single tree in a wood, finding protection and belonging with one another.
Together, Oakwood reflects exactly what we hope to be for the children, families and staff who are part of our story
We know how hard it is to build up trust with professionals, especially if you've been let down before. Our aim is to make your care agency one less battle to fight.
With over 30 years combined specialist experience in complex paediatric and palliative care, we've spent our nursing careers walking alongside children and families through some of life's most profound moments. That experience is the foundation Oakwood is built on and it shapes everything we do.
We personally oversee every care package. We will complete a full assessment, ensuring your wishes are heard and your child's needs are fully understood. We want to be with you every step of the way, not just at the beginning, but throughout. We hold our staff to the highest standards because we know what excellent care looks like.
Beyond the clinical experience, we genuinely love what we do, making happy memories and getting to know the children and families. That's not something you can train into someone, which is why we are incredibly careful about who we bring into the Oakwood team.
When you choose Oakwood, you're choosing nurses who know your child's name, your family's story and what matters most to you.
We would be honoured to earn your trust and be part of your family's journey.
Caring for a child with complex needs is a special kind of role, and it takes a special kind of person to do it well. At Oakwood, we know that when staff feel valued, supported and appreciated, children and young people receive the very best.
Looking after our team is every bit as important to us as looking after our families. We are committed to making Oakwood a place where you feel genuinely valued because we believe that's where great care begins.
We also know that working in the community can feel isolating at times, which is why we have 24/7 on-call support, so whenever you need guidance, reassurance or just someone to talk something through with, we are always there.
We invest in your training and development and we genuinely want to know what matters to you and where you want to go in your career.
We are incredibly protective of the children and families we look after. That's why we are selective about who joins our team. If you share our values and our commitment to exceptional care, you will fit right in at Oakwood.
Our vision is one where every child with complex needs receives exceptional care, and every family feels truly supported every step of the way.

Compassion
Care for us has always been a vocation, not just a job. It's the reason Oakwood exists, because we believe families deserve better and we want to be the ones to provide it.
Integrity
We hold ourselves to the highest moral standards in everything we do because our families and staff deserve nothing less than honesty and trust.
Advocacy
Every child deserves someone in their corner. We are committed to ensuring every child and family feel heard, respected and empowered. We will always advocate for the care, support and opportunities that allow them to thrive
Excellence
We are ambitious about the care we provide. Outstanding isn't just something we aspire to, it's the standard we hold ourselves to every day.
