Leonard Cheshire is a leading UK charity supporting disabled individuals to live, learn and work as independently as they choose. Our 100 years of experience and expertise has given us a deep understanding of the needs and aspirations of disabled people, and we are committed to creating a society that is inclusive, accessible and empowering for all.

We also provide a free Blue Light card with discounts for high street retailers, eating out, and fun family days. Other benefits include a free DBS check, generous annual leave, a contributory pension scheme, and excellent training programmes relevant to your role.
