Travel expenses can be claimed, at the agreed rate, for journeys that are necessary in the course of your work; and claims for additional expenses will be reimbursed in accordance with our expenses policy.

We also have auto-enrolment into a pension scheme with employer contributions in place, and all staff qualify for schemes like the Blue Light card.


We are looking for a focused individual to join our caring, passionate, and diverse team in supporting adults with moderate learning disabilities and autistic adults to live independently in housing situations of their choice.

This role gives challenge and satisfaction and will suit someone that has:

  • Experience of working with adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults in a community setting
  • A good team member
  • Understanding of the issues faced by people with learning disability and autistic people living independently and the skills to meet their practical, social and emotional needs
  • A 'Person Centred Planning' ethos
