Working with us

We believe in a workplace where everyone feels valued and supported, with development opportunities to challenge and inspire.  

As we have grown, it’s been ever more important to ensure we maintain a meaningful employee and volunteer community.  Articulating who we are through our values created a common language and guides our behaviours:  

  • We appreciate each person. Everyone is different – we respect and celebrate this. 
  • We’re always learning. We all have something to offer and more to learn. 
  • We’re always improving. Striving to give our best and to have more impact. 
  • We push for change. We will challenge society to be fully inclusive. 
  • We find the joy in everyday life. We have the freedom to be ourselves and enjoy what we do. 

We welcome applications from people who share these values and care passionately about improving the lives of people with learning disabilities.  

We pride ourselves on pushing for change, finding new solutions to age old problems and we believe that a workplace diverse in character and content will contribute unique perspectives that can lead to breakthroughs in thought and innovation. 

We encourage you to think creatively, sharing knowledge and skills with the aim of going above and beyond for the individuals we support.

I am lucky to be allowed to think creatively, encourage others to think outside the box, make things happen, whilst setting higher standards of delivery… I am part of exciting change… I also work and engage with amazing people everyday.
