Are you someone who’s kind, caring, and passionate about making a real difference in people’s lives? Our team is looking for someone just like you to join us in supporting a group of amazing adults aged 18 and over.

We’re proud to support individuals with a wide range of needs and personalities. Some are independent, while others use wheelchairs or need full assistance with personal care.

Outdoor activities like shopping, dining out, and going on group trips to places like Chester Zoo (we’re proud members!)
Fun at home, including listening to music, watching movies, cooking, and baking
Social time, whether it’s bowling, tours, or simply enjoying each other’s company

They value kindness, respect, and a safe, happy home where everyone’s dignity and privacy are honoured. And so do we.
