How are we different?

We see ourselves as a quality-of-life company that provides care when needed, not a care company. Quality care is part of the picture, but it isn't the reason we exist. We exist so people thrive.

Wellbeing practice is built into how we work, we prioritise our own wellbeing and we talk about it in every company meeting and supervision. This is underpinned by the belief that we have to look after ourselves in order to look after other people.

We are always striving to do things differently to make more of a difference to the day-to-day experience of the people we support - more joy, more connection, more meaning, and more purpose. We recognise that we are all learning, that no one has the right answers, and that by building an environment that is safe and fun, where it is ok to make mistakes so long as we take the learning from it, and work together to improve, we will have a great place to work that means we can provide a great service. The organisation is led by a creative care expert in Chris, and we are working to embed creative care practice into our work.

If reading this lights you up and gets you excited, then you're probably the kind of person we'd love to work with.
