We support people to live their lives as independently as possible in their own flats. We are looking for people who are interested in trying new things and supporting people to achieve their own personal goals.

In this service, the people we support enjoy playing pool, going to work placements, doing arts and crafts, playing video games, gardening and spending time out in the community.

• Medication administration
• Cooking and home maintenance
• Positive behaviour support
