Join an Outstanding Provider with a Person-Centred Mission

Since 2007, CJP Outreach Services Ltd has delivered tailored, high-quality support for individuals with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, and complex needs. We’re rated Outstanding by the CQC, and we’re proud of our strong values, high staff retention, and commitment to truly person-centred care.

An Exciting New Service in Sudbury

We’re launching a new supported living service in Sudbury and are now building a dedicated, compassionate team to support a young man transitioning to his new home in September 2025.

This is a rare opportunity to join from the very beginning and help shape a stable, consistent support team around an amazing individual with great potential for growth.

About the Person You’ll Support "J"

J is full of humour and loves to laugh—comedy and light-heartedness go a long way.
He enjoys going to the beach and spending time in open spaces, although motivation to leave home can sometimes be a challenge.
Once out, he can be so engaged that he doesn’t want to come home, so patience and flexibility are key.
He follows a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)-led approach focused on proactive, structured care.
Boredom is a major trigger, keeping J stimulated and engaged (at home and in the community) is crucial.
During periods of change or stress, J may show behaviours that challenge, but these do not define him, you’ll have full training and team support.

What You’ll Do

As part of a 3 : 1 support team, your responsibilities will include :

Building a trusting, respectful relationship with J

Assisting with daily routines, personal care, and community access

Encouraging J’s interests and introducing new activities

Working with colleagues and PBS leads to reduce behaviours of concern

Providing consistent, structured support to build J’s independence over time

Have experience in the care / support sector

Work well as part of a close-knit team

Be consistent and dependable—stability is crucial for J
