Your Service

Deansbrook is a fun and lively service set in the peaceful rural location of the Essex Countryside. People living here enjoy the beautiful landscape, taking walks to explore the natural beauty, and getting stuck into fun scavenger hunts. The unique residential service offers shared communal spaces for people to gain independence and be supported to learn daily living skills and home management, but with larger communal spaces for activities and socialising.

Your Values

You will already have experience in the social care sector (Senior Support Worker, Team Leader or Senior Care Assistant) but your values are most important to us. Values influence every interaction between our colleagues and the people we support. They are a promise that:

• We will always act with kindness.
• Stay committed to the people who rely on us.
