About us

My Life is a highly respected charity and we are currently seeking a number of experienced Personal Assistants / Support Workers to join a new team of Community based staff in Chorley.

My Life was established in 2012 as a result of a group of people with disabilities and their families wanting something different to traditional types of health/social care services and wanting more choice and control over their own lives.
