Each staff member has something to bring to the role, and we encourage staff to use their humour and sense of fun and creativity in supporting our service users with day-to-day life.

There is also a recently refurbished back garden with an array of different outdoor activities.

This service provides specialised, person-centred packages of support with the emphasis being on service users fulfilling their potential through the development of vocational and life skills. We focus on developing transferable skills which fosters and encourages the achievement of personal goals.
