Our Orchard Park service is an established supported living service providing support to three gentlemen. This is a vibrant, active and sociable service where the people you will be supporting are out and about every day. They have a great sense of humour, and their interests are varied, whether it is swimming, karate, horse riding or football. The successful applicant will be happy to be active, can add to the camaraderie and will be able to bring new ideas to the service.

Our Histon service is not dissimilar. Another supported living service, but this time supporting five individuals, this is again a busy and active service with regular, daily activities in the diary. Having a knowledge of healthy eating and nutrition, epilepsy, hearing impairments and different ways of communicating with people will really benefit the successful postholder in this service.
