We are a unique service set on farmland, have access to animals and surrounded by the countryside near the village of Storrington in West Sussex. We have 4 ladies and 4 gentlemen who have physical and learning disabilities that live in their own apartments but need our support to live an active lifestyle.

We have a vacancy for a Senior Support Worker to act as a role model to the team and support the Manager and Deputy in delivering an excellent standard of service provision.
