Who are Codi Group?

Codi is a not-for-profit with a big heart and an even bigger mission. As Wales’ largest provider of housing, care, and support, we’re here to help people live well, feel supported, and rise to their full potential.

Every day, our teams support nearly 17,000 individuals across Wales with services that make a real and uplifting difference to their everyday lives.

Our name says it all: ‘Codi’ means rise in Welsh. It reflects who we are, where we come from, and our ambition to lift expectations, lift communities, and lift each other.

The team here lives by the Active Support “do with, not do for” approach, which empowers the people we support to live life on their own terms. The impact of this approach has been incredibly positive, and as part of the team, you'll have the rewarding experience of seeing the difference you make every single day.
