Within our day service we support a diverse group of learning disabled adults with complex needs and varying levels of challenging behaviour.

We provide person centred support focusing on what is really important to the service users; helping them manage behaviours, and increase life skills whilst supporting them in all aspects of daily living, personal care and resourcing activities to increase independence and capabilities enabling them to live as fuller life as possible.


We encourage and support our service users to access the community at least once a day whether it is simply for a walk, to shop, or visit a place of interest to them.

Responsibilities also include report writing and care planning.

A good imagination, sense of humour, excellent communication and computer literacy skills are essential. You should be able to confidently work autonomously and as part of the team.

We offer 29 days annual leave, (inclusive of bank holidays and an extra day off to celebrate your birthday). We also have a robust Employee Assistance Programme and employee referral programme across all our services.
