Who We Are

Supporting people to live life to the full

In 1989 a group of parents of children with learning disabilities got together and decided that they wanted something better for their children (in transition to adulthood) than was available at the time. With the help of local and national charities, professional people and social services Link-Ability was created.

Here For You

Discover what we do and why we do it

When someone comes to us requesting our help, we listen to the views of the person needing that help, the views of the people who know them well and views of the people who care for them most. Collectively we produce a ‘person centred’ plan for care and support.

Working For Us

It's much more than a job,
it's a lifestyle

The people we care for and support require assistance across a range of times including daytime, evenings and weekends and it is essential that you have the flexibility to work any of these shifts on a rota basis. We also offer flexible work options to help balance personal and professional life.
