Nottingham-based care provider Safe Haven Accommodation is set to create a raft of new jobs as it looks to build on a successful first decade, TheBusinessDesk.com understands.

The family-run firm is eyeing further expansion after ten years of growth which have seen it open three offices and 65 care homes across the UK, providing a safe and warm home to more than 700 vulnerable young people.

The company supports the country’s most vulnerable looked-after children, including unaccompanied children seeking asylum, aged from 16 years and up.

A spokesperson for Safe Haven told us the company is now looking to add 50 additional staff to its 150-strong team.

Shamraiz Younas, founder and chief executive of Safe Haven Accommodation, said: “We opened our doors for the first time on January 23, 2013, entering one of the toughest sectors in the care industry.

“From our humble beginnings 10 years ago, opening our first home in Nottingham, we now have over 65 homes spanning the UK and look to expand further in 2023.

“We are proud to say that our company has helped over 700 young people and we have employed over 500 people in the 10 years we have been operating.

“Managing such a large operation in one of the toughest sectors has certainly had its highs and lows, which is why I am eternally grateful to those that have been by my side on my journey.

“Without the support of my colleagues, friends and family, I am not sure Safe Haven would be where it is today.

“I would also like to thank Allah SWT for the strength he has given me, and for blessing me with the self-belief and insight into creating a company that has helped mankind.”

Younas added: “Safe Haven Accommodation and our other family companies have come so far, but we endeavour to take them to another level in 2023, in the hope we can help more young people and adults, whilst providing the best service in the sector.”
