Home, a place where you belong

Want to be part of a team that truly cares, not only about our customers, but about you too? Our colleagues tell us that working here feels different. We're brilliant at what we do, and we look after each other just as much as we support our customers. If you've ever felt like just a number in your current job, this could be the change you've been waiting for.

You'll help people with complex needs live more independently, where no two days are the same. One moment you're helping someone take a big step towards their goals, the next you're supporting them through life's everyday ups and downs.

What you'll do

• Balance support, safeguarding, admin and meetings while guiding colleagues and managing caseloads
• Support Customers with daily tasks like budgeting, cooking and attending appointments
• Work with multi agency teams to safeguard and empower our customers
• Help customers build independence and prepare for their move on into the community

This is more than a job - it's a place where you feel valued. With our learning and development offer, and support from friendly colleagues, you'll make a real difference every day!
