What our staff say
Working with vulnerable service users and learning how it feels to be a support worker was the best choice I ever made.

My colleagues have been amazing and so welcoming, I have worked in several of the homes and every home has been so different which is what I have needed.
Aston Butler
SDHFL is a wonderful organisation to work for. The commitment to the welfare of service users foremost but also staff is obvious. Working for a charity that is dedicated to enhancing the lives of vulnerable adults rather than profit focused is personally rewarding.

I have spent my whole career in the health and social care sector and particularly like supporting people with learning disabilities. The job has its lighter moments and is challenging at time but I wouldn't want to work anywhere else.
