Our charity was founded in 1988 and we were one of the pioneers of the ‘Care in the Community’ agenda, enabling people to move out of long-stay institutions and live more fulfilling lives.

Since then, we’ve remained leaders in social care, providing bespoke support to thousands across the UK. Today, we support more than 2,600 people and employ 6,600 caring and committed colleagues across England and Scotland.

We have a proud history of breaking boundaries and are always looking for new ways to make a positive difference through bold ideas, innovative projects and impactful partnerships.

What You’ll Be Doing

The individuals we support have faced a lot of challenges in the past because of their learning disabilities, but this hasn’t stopped them from enjoying life! They enjoy lots of activities, including going to the movies, taking walks in the park, visiting aquariums, visiting ice cream shops, going swimming and going to coffee mornings. However, they’re always up for trying new things, so are looking for inventive people who are up for the challenge.
