What do we do?

We support people to live their best life; and to do that we need great Support Workers.

What does a Support Worker do?

The role of a Support Worker is really varied, we ensure the people we support are safe, happy and leading great lives. We also work alongside the people we support to encourage them to manage situations independently and gain confidence as a person where possible.

Supporting someone with needs isn't just about personal care, it is about every aspect of support and living an independent life in their community.

We really encourage people to learn and try new life skills such as cooking or actively seeking out new choices and opportunities, possibly engage in education and local community partnerships/events.

As a Support Worker you will meet people who may need additional support; we offer as standard a full training suite of learning for employees/volunteers to ensure the services we deliver meet the entire needs of the people we support.

We stand by our Quality - it's what makes us very different!
