About Norwood

Founded in 1795, Norwood is the oldest Jewish charity in the UK. We support and empower neurodiverse children and their families and people with neurodevelopmental disabilities to live their best lives.

At Norwood, you’ll make a real difference every day. You’ll be part of a supportive and inclusive team, guided by values of kindness, respect, empowerment and belonging. We invest in your growth, care about your wellbeing, and give you the pride of knowing your work changes lives.

Most residents are verbal, using clear speech, facial expressions, or visual prompts to communicate.

Residents enjoy a relaxed, social lifestyle with hobbies including arts and crafts, knitting, music, TV, and trips to coffee shops. Some are sociable; others prefer a quieter routine. The house includes self-contained flats, a dedicated arts room, and a garden with countryside views.
