About Us

Working across Devon and Cornwall, Havencare Homes and Support Limited is a forward-thinking charity that provides social care services for people with learning disabilities and autism.

He needs people to show an active interest in what he likes and enjoys like video games, films, golf, snooker, get involved explore it with him.”

A lack of stimulation or overstimulation can escalate Michael and when he becomes anxious, he can act in a way that pushes people away. He’ll benefit from Support Workers with a calm, but confident and assertive approach who can help him to get back on track and putting a smile on people’s faces.

Michael says: “I am looking for support staff who like to be active, enjoy sports and can drive.
