We are the UK’s largest supported living healthcare provider and have been proudly supporting communities since 1995.

The Lifeways Group in Carlisle, Cumbria is currently looking to expand their fantastic team of Support Workers in our local residential services.

Harraby Croft apartments offer the ideal mixture of independent and shared living space. In these apartments, people can benefit from a vibrant network of staff and friends, while having peace and quiet when they need it too.

Each service user has their own self-contained room within the service buildings, and your work will be varied as you’ll be supporting with all sorts of activities including swimming, shopping, going for a coffee, going to the cinema, visiting museums, and clubs.

You’ll be supporting the service user with general household chores such as cooking, laundry, vacuuming, and dusting, and in some cases personal care (assisting with bathing, toileting, and feeding).
