Support Worker

We are a residential home in Plymouth supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities to achieve their goals and aspirations.

The people we support include Jodie and Hannah who love nothing more than a themed party, or bbq. We love to dress up and decorate our home - there's always something to celebrate!

We also love going on exciting days out to theme parks or going out for dinner with our friends near and far.

We recently had a summer fete - it was amazing to welcome all our families and friends of Bull point. The community vibe here is lovely and we're more like a family than anything else, supporting each other to thrive and live our best lives.
