Talent Acquisition & Development Officer

About Us

At Striive, we believe caring for our people is just as important as caring for the children, young people, and participants we support. Our culture is grounded in safety, well-being, and trauma-informed practice, ensuring our staff feel valued, supported, and equipped to deliver the highest-quality care.
