Cambian Shap Road is probably one of the best residential care homes of its type in the county. Located in the picturesque town of Kendal, it provides exceptional care and support for young adults with Learning Disabilities and/or challenges within the autistic spectrum. The home is a registered 4-bedroom house for young adults and they are closely supported to live as independent a life as possible and be a big part of the local community.

We aspire for all of our people to be the best they can be as themselves whilst preparing them for future opportunities and/or lifelong fulfilment. If you join us, you will be working between Shap Road and our soon to open new service, with a group of young adults who are very happy and safe and who show high levels of respect and kindness towards each other.

The life skills, support and care that we provide makes a significantly positive difference to their lives and parents have commented that the exemplary support their children receive has, ‘changed their lives and given them hope’. If you have the skills and experience to support our young adults with their care and social needs, completing activities or you want to help them become as independent as possible, then this is the place for you.

Bring your knowledge and ideas to our team and help to enrich our residents’ lives and improve their confidence and resilience even further! If working within the care sector is your passion, then we would love to help you develop your career within our calm, caring and supportive environment. Alternatively, if you are new to the sector then we can’t think of anywhere better to start your exciting new career.
