Since the early days, we've grown to provide many innovative and bespoke care services to thousands of people across England and Scotland. We want to provide support based on the principles of choice, dignity and respect. This resonates in our vision of 'Your Life, Your Choice' and our strategy 'Best Lives, Bolder'.

We have strong values and we're proud to pioneer new ways of delivering social care to stand out in our sector. In the past two years, we have won or made the shortlist for over 100 national and regional awards!

We are also focused on our people. Our Support Workers are dedicated and passionate about going 'the extra mile' for the people we support and in return, we go the extra mile for them by investing in pay, recognition, wellbeing and continued professional and personal development.

We will provide you with all the training, support and PPE you need in your role and will help you develop, should you decide you want to further your career with us.

Who you'll be supporting & more about the role:

Strong experience in mental health, autism and sensory communication, and physical health is important

It's best to have experience in using PBS methods, but we will support you to gain qualifications whilst working in service anyway.

We will help you to develop your talents with a range of specialist training, including the opportunity to learn Positive Behaviour Support methods (PBS), Makaton and the Picture Exchange System.

During the recruitment process, you will get to meet the people we support in a nearby service. This will allow you to see their wonderful personalities first‑hand and fully understand the level of support that they require.

The people we support are unique, and have support needs ranging from learning disabilities, autism, epilepsy, mental health, and other complex needs, which could mean that they sometimes display behaviours that can challenge. It's our mission to ensure the people we support can, and do, lead their best life possible!
