Why work at Elysian

Welcome to our recruitment page

Our growing team are proud to offer vacancies across our sites in Hampshire and Surrey, where you can begin or continue developing your career as part of our hardworking and dedicated team. All our provisions are expanding over time, so we have new opportunities available frequently.

Elysian employs teachers, learning support assistants, therapists, grooms and equine staff across three sites in Surrey and Hampshire, working directly with children and young people with SEN, alongside horses, ponies and a wide range of other animals.

What guides the work

Elysian's motto is Enjoy, Believe, Achieve. Its values are compassion, growth, inclusion, respect, community and excellence. Three principles run through leadership at every level: everything we do must improve lives; sustainability enables opportunity; leadership means ownership.

Safer recruitment

Elysian is committed to safer recruitment. All posts are subject to enhanced DBS checks, in keeping with working directly with children and young people with SEN, several of whom are vulnerable.

The Elysian Approach

Staff work within the Elysian Approach: individualised, animal-assisted, relational and evidence-based. Read the full model on The Elysian Approach.
