“It’s like watching mini-miracles happen here every day.”
That’s how one of our team describes the difference they make. If you’re kind, compassionate, and ready to help others live life their way, we’d love to hear from you.
Due to the nature of this role a full driving licence is essential, this is in order to use the company vehicles to support our residents out in the community.
A home, not just a service
Chipstead Lake, in the peaceful village of Chipstead in Kent, is home for up to 22 disabled adults. Our home has extensive, accessible grounds and incredible views of the village’s large fishing lake. A local pub and a supermarket are very close by, and we’re only a short drive from the town of Sevenoaks. Our service feels like family – relaxed, supportive, and centred around the people who live here. Every day brings new moments to celebrate from small wins in independence to big laughs over mealtimes.
Please Note: Access to and from the service using public transport is limited, please ensure you have the ability to get to the service before applying
