Person-centred Support Worker

We are a values focused organisation, who puts the people we support first. Established in 1982 by a group of local parents who wanted respite and accommodation for their now adult children, we have expanded exponentially because our participants love our services.

At Community Living Options we are dedicated to providing an inclusive environment where people are valued and supported. We welcome applicants with lived experience, all abilities, cultural background, gender, sexuality, age and spirituality.
