Heathlands offers the highest degree of dignity with contemporary, bespoke personal care facilities, including a wet room.
Our history
In March 2007, the then titled Glenmore Opportunities moved to the farm and Heathlands was born. Over the coming years, buildings were redeveloped and extended, opportunities were expanded until, in 2013 a new charity, Laurie Brewis Trust took the helm. As an independent charity the organisation has continued to flourish and now offers an unparalleled variety of choice for the individuals we support.
Heathlands is looking for pro-active student volunteers to help support day service members at the centre and in the community.
Previous sports coaching experience is not required but a keeness for sports and fitness is desirable. Sports and fitness sessions run 3x 1/2 days a week and more information is available on request.
Heathlands is open through the holidays, so if you are planning on staying over the Summer this could be a perfect opportunity to develope your CV and specific cooking, care and / or proffessional skills.
Support, encouragement, socialisation and engagement.
