L'Arche UK consists of 11 communities across England, Scotland and Wales.

Every Community celebrates people with learning disabilities and fosters circles of support around them, focusing on building relationships and creating a culture of belonging.

At L'Arche Ipswich, we provide outstanding care and support to people living in a 'supported living' setting across 3 houses in Ipswich, Suffolk.

We are a diverse, inclusive community of 30 people with and without learning disabilities, who live, work and celebrate together.

Our aim is to provide a place of belonging to enable adults with learning disabilities live independent yet connected lives.

- have demonstrable experience of caring for and supporting adults with learning disabilities
- have a relevant Health and Social Care qualification (or comparable experience) to at least NVQ/QCF Level 3 in care

What you will do
