Who You’ll Be Supporting
Fiennes House is a 12-bed purpose-built residential home, for adults with complex care needs, learning disabilities or autism, some of which have behaviour that can challenge. Everyone benefits from access to a large sensory room with equipment to stimulate their senses using lights, sounds, music, and touch. This includes a heated waterbed and materials to help people enjoy different sensory experiences.
The people we support are an active group who spend time getting out and about and engaging with the local community. Activities include art classes, trampolining, playing music, gardening in the sensory garden and spending time in the community.
If you are looking to make a positive impact in your workplace, Fiennes House is the place for you! If you’re compassionate, resilient, and ready to learn, this is your moment. It’s hands-on, it’s heart-led, and yes — it’s brilliant.
