The work we do changes lives - could you join our team?

We support People to do the things we all normally take for granted, such as going for a walk, visiting the shops and helping out at home too. Living with autism, learning disabilities, mental health challenges and complex needs is tricky, but with our support, the people we support have discover their own superpowers and begun to do the things they love to do!

Penhayes is a specialist residential home in Kenton, near Exeter supporting adults with autism, learning disabilities, mental health challenges and complex care needs. The people we support live across five individual flats and we have a generous shared garden we love spending time in.
