Halton needs you
Adult Social Care
We are looking for people who are as passionate as we are about helping others and delivering person centred care for the people we support.
Our vacanciesWelcome
The role of our Care and Support team is to ensure that service users’ care and support plans are implemented in a manner that will ensure all needs are met to a high standard, maintaining independence when possible within their limitations.
We are really excited as a care home division to be involved in lots of exciting projects, including the development of an electronic care recording system, recruitment of volunteers and plans for a refurbishment of all of our homes with over £3 million secured to start work in 2023. This will mean that the people we support and our staff will live and work in new, light, bright and modern environments.

Our Reablement Service provides short-term, time-limited intervention to support adults to regain or retain their former level of independence following a period of ill health or a change in circumstances. The service is for adults who, because of frailty, illness or disability, are in need of support to continue living at their home for as long as practically possible.
Our Halton Supported Housing Network is a group of 19 houses across Runcorn and Widnes, providing accommodation and support for adults with learning and physical disabilities in the community. We enable people with disabilities to engage in all aspects of their daily living and gain meaningful opportunities within their local community.
Halton Community Day Services has many projects that offer service users with learning and physical disabilities excellent ways to develop their employment and social skills whilst having fun in the process! The service is held over 19 venues within the borough. Each offering a different experience and opportunity to support either business areas or community based activities. The service also provides a base for people with higher support needs.
