About the people and their home
The people we support enjoy a variety of day trips, including visits to forests, animal parks, nature centres and coastal areas. Everyone has their own goals, such as becoming more active through daily walks and weekly swimming or building skills by taking part in local farm projects and animal care.
Support Workers play a key role in encouraging independence and helping people feel confident and valued in the community. This includes supporting trips to shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants, and helping to choose activities that are meaningful to the people we support. Popular choices include horse riding, trampolining, cooking, recycling, arts and crafts and word searches.
The focus is always on helping people lead happy, fulfilling lives. With person‑centred support and a positive “can‑do” attitude, individuals are encouraged to explore new interests, grow their independence and reach their full potential.

If you have the qualities and interests that align with people we support, we can’t wait for you to apply!
We regularly review our job adverts to ensure they reflect current hiring needs. In some cases, adverts may close earlier than the stated deadline if we receive sufficient applications or the role is filled. Conversely, some adverts may remain open beyond the original closing date until the position is successfully filled. This approach helps us attract the best talent while maintaining flexibility in our recruitment process.
To ensure fair consideration and timely progression, internal applicants should submit their applications no later than the end of the first week after the role is advertised. Applications received after this point may not be guaranteed review.
