About the Company

Our overall aim as an organisation is to provide a high-quality service that empowers Service Users to lead normal lives, and to be the provider of choice.

Our purpose is our people, our culture is Platinum

Eden Futures has been awarded Platinum accreditation by Investors in People - the highest level of recognition an organisation can achieve. To become a Platinum organisation, Investors in People look for more than just performance - they look for purpose, trust, continuous improvement, and a genuine commitment to wellbeing. They look for companies where:
  • Leadership is people-centric and values-driven
  • Learning and development are embedded in everyday work
  • Engagement is measured, acted on, and constantly improved
  • Values are not just written - they're lived
  • Innovation, inclusion, and giving back are part of the culture
At Eden Futures, we often say we're a true people's organisation, and this award shows that we truly live up to it. Our people are the heart of our company. This accreditation reflects how we lead, how we support one another, and how we've built a culture where every voice matters.

Our organisation is committed to safe and fair recruitment, safeguarding and protecting those we care for and serve. We are an inclusive employer and make sure all our staff are vetted, selected, trained, and supervised fairly and to a high standard so that they can provide safe, effective, and compassionate care.

At Eden Futures we support vulnerable adults and therefore roles that require contact with our service users are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order and 2020) provides that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered 'protected'. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account.

Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website. It's a criminal offence for people who are barred from working in regulated activity to apply for roles that require them to work unsupervised with vulnerable adults.
