Coxley House is a registered care home providing accommodation and 24-hour support to individuals who have high level mental health needs.
At L&Q Living, we believe that being a caring person who shares our values and likes helping others is far more important than experience.

We follow the ethos of Positive Behaviour Support, engaging individuals in active support and focusing on community participation. You will support individuals to access meaningful activities in the community and on site, work with families and professionals and support opportunities to promote daily independence and wellbeing. You will also provide personal care and emotional support to service users.
No previous experience is required. We will support you with a comprehensive induction and provide ongoing training and development.
