We are Eden Futures, and we deliver exceptional support services for people aged 18 and over who have learning disabilities, autism, mental ill health and associated complex needs. We are recruiting Specialist Support Workers to join the team across our Supported Living services, supporting individuals in their own homes as well as out in the community, helping them to live as independently as possible.
At Eden Futures, we're more than a supported living provider - we're a true people's organisation. In 2025, we were honoured with Investors in People Platinum status, reflecting our deep commitment to culture, collaboration, and giving our staff a real career in care.
When you join us, you'll discover genuine opportunities to grow. Whether through e-learning, face-to-face training, or your own tailored development plan, we support you every step. We're proud to offer pathways like the Care Certificate and apprenticeships - real chances to make a difference in people's lives.
If you're new to care and support, that's okay! We're looking for people who share our values, because that's what matters most. We hire for values first, skills second. In our Support Worker roles, we give you interview questions in advance because we want you to shine as your authentic self.
Oh, and we love celebrating our teams! From annual Care Awards to monthly staff recognition, and long-service milestones, we ensure you feel valued. We're an employer people want to stay with.
