“It’s about leading by example – supporting my team so they can give the very best care every single day.”
That’s how one of our Team Leaders describes their role. If you’re a confident, compassionate leader who’s ready to inspire others and make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.
A home, not just a service
Chipstead Lake, in the peaceful village of Chipstead in Kent, is home for up to 22 disabled adults. Our home has extensive, accessible grounds and incredible views of the village’s large fishing lake. A local pub and a supermarket are very close by, and we’re only a short drive from the town of Sevenoaks. Our service feels like family – relaxed, supportive, and centred around the people who live here. Every day brings new moments to celebrate from small wins in independence to big laughs over mealtimes.

Hours are between 8am - 8pm, covering two shifts a week.
