Work in Adult Services

Working with adults helps to promote a life with control, choice and independence. 

Our adult services support those with: 

  • mental or physical illness 
  • difficulties with sight or hearing 
  • have drug or alcohol dependencies 
  • hospital stays, or experience abuse or neglect. 

We promote independence and encourage everyone to become a valuable participant in their community.
