About The Role
Alternative Futures Group is the North West’s largest Mental Health and Learning Disability charity. With a strong track record over 30 years, we work locally in the community and through our Independent Hospitals to provide a wide range of innovative and bespoke care services. We are the leading provider of occupational therapy and rehabilitation services within our region.
We have a vision to create a world where people control their lives. Here at AFG, we pride ourselves on helping the people we support to design, develop and ‘own’ the support they receive by planning this with them; we support people to make informed choices and increase their own independence; and we support people to maintain their own health, wellbeing and living environment. These principles are really important to us.
As a ‘values based’ employer, the people that work for us genuinely care about the people they support, and we are seeking likeminded people to join our AFG family. If you are passionate about working in Health and Social Care and have a real desire to make a positive difference to the lives of the people we support then we would love to hear from you.
We recognise the contribution and value that staff make. We would not be able to provide the life changing support that we do without people like you!
