About Us

We’re one of the largest adult social care providers in the UK today – and we plan to keep growing and benefiting more lives.

Our support is dynamic, person-centred and fulfilling, so people can enjoy a flourishing life. We deliver care and support with energy, passion and positivity.

Through our Residential, Supported Living and Complex Care services, we support people’s interests and inspire new ones. We do this through a mix of bigger planned activities and smaller everyday goals and tasks. We really understand each individual, so we create a person-centred plan to help them Strive every day.

We're very proud to be recognised as one of the best organisations to work in by ‘The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024 and 2025'.

About the Service

You will be based at one of our residential or supported living  homes within a friendly community of eight services located next to each other in a beautiful countryside setting in Halstead. Each home offers a warm, cottage-style and homely environment.

Homes vary from small homes to larger services. We support adults with a range of needs, from those who are more independent to those requiring full support, some individuals require personal care.

All services regularly come together for activities and events. While you will have a main base, you may occasionally work across other homes on the same site. Parking is available, though public transport is limited. A driving licence isn’t always required, but drivers may need to drive people we support using service cars.
