About SOL
Support for Ordinary Living (SOL) is a non-profit organisation that supports people with a variety of support needs and disabilities to choose and create a life for themselves within their own homes and communities.
We believe that life is worth living when the things that matter most are present — love, friendship, family, belonging, freedom to direct our own lives, opportunities to grow, and the chance to use our strengths and skills. That’s what ordinary living is all about.
We work to create a world where the people we support are truly seen, heard, and enabled to live meaningful, connected and fulfilling lives.
A key expectation of everyone who works for SOL is that they live and breathe our values:
- Do the right thing
- Make a difference
- Take responsibility
- Challenge the status quo
- Look at the world from different perspectives
- Find joy in the ordinary
These values are central to how we work — they shape our decisions, guide our relationships, and define how we support both the people we work for and the people we work alongside.

- Safeguard individuals’ health, wellbeing, finances, and property, and respond appropriately in emergency situations.
- Promote social inclusion by supporting participation in activities and encouraging the maintenance of positive relationships with family, friends, and the community.
- Accurately record all required information using SOL’s [digital] systems and contribute to the ongoing improvement of service quality.
- Work collaboratively with colleagues, families, and external professionals to deliver consistent and coordinated support.
- Be required to adapt their visit schedule at short notice on their designated working days.
- Support the development and delivery of high-quality services by maintaining compliance with SOL’s policies, SSSC Codes of Practice, National Care and Care Inspectorate standards.

- Maintain continuous professional development and meet all training and SSSC registration requirements, including any mandatory training and the completion of an SVQ.
