Heywood, Manchester, United Kingdom POSSABILITIES CIC Full time

Now we know about giant leaps we want to surround ourselves with people who can help us do more of them - and if necessary stop us from getting carried away.

We are a not-for-profit independent social enterprise. We support people with learning disabilities to live the life they choose.
We set up in 2014 having 'spun-out' from Rochdale Council to become fully independent.

we have been rated outstanding by CQC (a rating given to only 6% of health & social care providers); and we have become a regional rather than local organisation, winning contracts in Rochdale, Widnes, Runcorn, Oldham, Trafford, Calderdale Stockport, Wigan and Bradford.

8 million to build the best apartment block for people with learning disabilities anywhere.

We say that because it is adjacent to our urban farm; one acre wellbeing garden; and The Social Lounge - a funky drop-in space for vulnerable adults open 350 days a year.

The other is to build our asset base by providing innovative housing, work and leisure solutions where there is a social need.

We are very interested in co-housing and intergenerational living.
We have quite a wide portfolio of services which include: -Day services - where people attend a place to do meaningful activities or be involved in our micro enterprises
Outreach - We go out to provide packages of support to people in their own homes
Shared Lives - A bit like fostering but for vulnerable adults
Employment services - Where we support vulnerable adults to become 'work ready' and get into a job.

Whether it's our Happiness Manifesto, our holiday lodge or our £1,000 gift vouchers we continue to look for new ways to create a vibrant culture.

Our HQ can be awash with animals from our farm and people with learning disabilities pop in and out of offices whether invited or not, ensuring that the place resonates with the sound of laughter.
