Description

Our client

Our client was formed in 1990 when a group of parents and carers of adults with learning disabilities and autism came together to create a local service to provide high quality care and support for their loved ones.

They started as a Local Residential Project, a small residential home for 9 service users in one location, and we've expanded and developed over the years, continuously adapting what we do to meet the changing needs of our service users.

Today, we are a dynamic, multi-service organisation, supporting over 300 service users and clients across Residential, Supported Living, Short Breaks, and Day Opportunities services in multiple locations in Downpatrick.

Our passionate and highly trained 120 staff teamwork alongside our service users as one big Family.

Our Mission has always been to provide a range of high-quality services which are safe, effective and compassionate for people of different abilities, and their families.

The current aim is to become more outcome focused and support our clients to look at their possibilities and not their disability.

To co-produce a standard of care, lead by the individuals we support in an inclusive, meaningful manner, no matter the complexity of their needs, within a community of opportunity.
