The role

We’re always exploring new opportunities for Daniel to connect with and play an active part in his local community.

At the heart of our service is a strong commitment to independence. We believe that a calm, empathetic, and encouraging team is essential in supporting Daniel to live a fulfilling, confident, and empowered life.
