You’ll support adults with complex disabilities in a day opportunities care setting where independence and individuality are truly valued.

Our services are customer-led, based on their individual needs and planned outcomes, meaning we need to have staff & volunteers on hand with a variety of skills & availability to meet their needs.

Our customers enjoy many activities on site and in the wider community and our volunteers play an integral part in our customers’ wellbeing and social inclusion.
