Overview
Our Support team at Heightlea are looking for new work family members!
Heightlea is a 5-bedroom house situated in its own grounds on the outskirts of Truro. At Heightlea we don’t just provide care for the people we support, we help them to achieve their goals and aspirations while living their best lives!
We’re looking for new work-family members to help the individuals we support fulfil their dreams and help them thrive in all they want to do. The individuals we support enjoy many activities such as taking walks around the beautiful gardens in Truro. There’s lots of farms you can visit, including the Callestick Farm for some Cornish Dairy Ice Cream! We love to visit the local coffee shops for a catch up with friends or simply heading into town to do some shopping!
If you could support individuals with disabilities to live the life they choose, please get in touch.
