Are you looking for a rewarding role that gives you purpose and leaves you safe in the knowledge that you have enriched someone’s life? Are you motivated to guide, support and enable people to achieve their goals?

Havencare is a registered charity whose main objective is just that. Working with people who have learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions and/or behaviours that challenge services, to achieve their dreams.
