Who You’ll Be Supporting

Fiennes House is a 12-bed purpose-built residential home for adults with complex care needs, learning disabilities or autism, some of whom have behaviour that can challenge. There is a large sensory room with equipment to stimulate senses using lights, sounds, music, and touch, including a heated waterbed and materials to help people enjoy different sensory experiences.

The people we support are active and engage with the local community through activities such as art classes, trampolining, playing music, gardening in the sensory garden, and community outings.

If you are looking to make a positive impact in your workplace, Fiennes House is the place for you!

This is more than a job — it’s a chance to empower someone to live life boldly and independently. As part of a close-knit team, if you’re compassionate, resilient, and ready to learn, this is your moment. It’s hands-on, it’s heart-led, and yes — it’s brilliant.
