Come and join one of the UK’s largest independent providers in neuro and mental healthcare. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.
We'd like you to join us as a Healthcare Assistant at our service Moorpark Place in Kilbirnie.
Moorpark Place is a specialist supported living service for adults on the Autistic Spectrum. Located in a peaceful and stunning setting in Kilbirnie, North Ayrshire, we specialise in providing supportive, therapeutic care.
The layout at Moorpark Place is unique and different from many other specialist adult autism services in the UK. Our community consists of 25 individual houses set in their own grounds with some shared facilities. This arrangement allows residents to enjoy all aspects of individual living whilst being part of a smaller community. We support people who find it challenging to live independently because they need help with everyday tasks and managing their own home. Our aim is to support our residents in having an enjoyable and engaging life, both on and off site.
Facilities include a communal gym with a gym instructor, conservatory, sunken trampoline and swing, plus a walled, sensory garden. There are regular community activities, and residents often socialize in the grounds.
Moorpark Place is calm and tranquil, with a large grassed area outside where residents often walk and many report feeling calmer afterward. The walled garden is maintained as a quiet, sensory area.

Moorpark is a 24/7 service, 365 days a year.
