Job description
"It’s like watching mini-miracles happen here every day."
That’s how one of our team describes the difference they make. If you’re kind, compassionate, and ready to help others live life their way, we’d love to hear from you.
Our Cheltenham Supported Living service is home to up to six adults with learning disabilities. Our service feels like family - relaxed, supportive, and centred around the people who live here. Every day brings new moments to celebrate: from small wins in independence to big laughs over mealtimes.
We offer full-time hours.
You’ll need to be flexible to work across weekdays and weekends as part of a rota
- 28 days holiday per annum inclusive of bank holidays (+1 day every year up to 33 days)
- Stream: Access up to 40% of your pay before payday
- Free Blue Light Card: Enjoy exclusive discounts and perks

- Support with daily living tasks such as personal care, mealtimes, and medication
- Encourage independence through a person-centred approach
- Accompany people to appointments, events, and community activities
- Most importantly - help each person live life on their own terms
No previous care experience? No problem - we’ll give you all the training you need.
Whether you’re experienced or brand new to care, our comprehensive induction and training will help you thrive.
For over 75 years, we’ve been supporting disabled people to live, learn, and work as independently as possible. We provide specialist support across residential care, supported living, and respite services for people with physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries, sensory impairments, and learning disabilities.
Our goal is simple: to create welcoming, safe, and empowering spaces that feel like home - giving people real choice and control over their lives.
Leonard Cheshire welcomes applications from all sections of the community. We actively encourage applications from people with disabilities and will support your requirements for reasonable adjustments wherever possible.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults at risk. A satisfactory disclosure check (PVG membership in Scotland) is required for this post, and references will be obtained for all roles.
