You’ll support people to understand their options, make informed choices, and have greater control over how their care and support are arranged. Every conversation you have can make a meaningful difference to someone navigating complex systems and life-changing decisions.

This is a rewarding opportunity to empower people to live the life they choose, with the right support around them.

Since 2013, we’ve supported more than 100,000 people with information, advice, and guidance around Self-Directed Support (SDS), empowering people to understand their rights, identify what matters most to them, and achieve positive outcomes in their daily lives.

Self-Directed Support (SDS) gives people choice and control over how their care and support are arranged, helping them live more independently and in ways that work best for them.

This role is about more than providing information, it’s about helping people feel heard, informed, and in control of their lives.

Every day, you’ll support people to make choices that help them live safely and well in their own homes and communities. Through SDS, you’ll empower people to shape support around what matters most to them.

Whether someone needs reassurance, guidance through complex systems, or help understanding their options, your support can make a lasting difference.
